The system is compromised at a level that is worst than a rootkit.Įven if it did provide additional performance, I would not trust it with anything. If the OS is infected at a core level, then no mater what anti-virus scan you do, with no mater software you get, they won't be able to detect anything. It manages everything, avoid problems, provide security, among many other things.Ī modified version of Windows could open on purpose or not to serious security wholes or leads of system failure (crash) or data loss. It is a very complex peace of OS which requires several thousands of engineers working on it. It operates your system as the name suggest. This (sometimes) still makes me feel forlorn(?)/lost when using Windows 8.Īn OS is a critical software, without it, your system is as useful as a door stop. I think this comes because of the fullscreen switching and the disappearing of the startbar - I literally feel like loosing the connection to what I'm doing right now. Since they made it possible to use "small" tiles in the Modern UI and set the same Wallpaper as on the desktop I found me using it as a complete start menu replacement. Even though I found the old one better when it comes to workflow. Compared to Android it really isn't a good tablet/mobile OS (for me, now).Since there is Windows 8 a lot more laptops are limited to this specific OS.Why does everything every time want me to create a Microsoft account?.Why do I have crappy apps (that need space on my small enough ssd) for things I already have perfect programs for? And why can't I just simply uninstall them all?.On the one hand it clearly is faster than Windows 7, especially on slower hardware (-> mobile devices) and several things, like the Task manager and the Explorer, are much better than before.īut then there are so many things I can't imagine anyone to be happy about: I'm using Windows 8 for a while now and I'm still not sure what I think about it.
