First I'll say that every PC I use these days is running Windows 8.1. That's my home desktop, laptop, Surface RT, and work PC. Windows 8 is actually very good on the tablet form factor. It's fine on PCs if you're wanting to stick to the new Metro style apps. But it's horrible when mixing desktop … Continue reading Ugh: Windows 8, Metro and Desktop
