So my mom got a new laptop with Windows 8 and after spending 2 min trying to use it I can honestly say I want to throw the entire laptop off a very very tall building

We had to switch to Windows 8 and so far I kinda like it? I don't like how it's VERY MUCH catered to touch-screen devices almost exclusively, and that mouse use seems to be added as an afterthought. So far I can't get it to log into my Gmail/Google either, which is kind of annoying because that's my primary everything-internet. I feel like they're trying to copy Apple in their "OMG ONLY USE US AND OUR PRODUCTS!!!!!" crap, which is the main reason I have such a huge grudge against Apple *says the person on a MacBook Pro with two iPods

Yep, I just found out I can buy that program like 15 min ago. but it kinda defeats the purpose of windows 8 if you need a sleeve that basically turns it into windows 7.
It's the UI that causes all the issues. They don't even give you a close button in the upper left/right hand corners unless you're using the desktop app.
windows makes a good chunk of their money via corporations and the long and the short of it is the win8 standard UI is not workplace compatible for large corporations. End of story.
I actually went on reddit like right after I posted this ragefest and found the same program suggested in multiple places. The fact that you guys use it sealed the deal.
I still think it's really stupid, but at least now it's useable.
