Othe only thing to dislike about Win8 was the forced Metro UI
P8.1 fixed it for most ppl tbh
VI'm just about to install it lol
O8.1 generally ran most things really well even compared to 7
Hit was poorly received but at least it wasn't consistently gathering Ls at every minor update lol
Pthe big thing is a lot of people didn't get a choice.
Hlike w11 is somehow even worse
Pthey updated the driver model again for win8
Hnice contrast on the bing logo
MI don't even have a pc back then but I remember ppl were saying stay to windows 7 if you want to play your game, since windows 8 are too laggy for games
VPeople will look at this and say metro design was the greatest thing ever designed
Pso people with certain hardware had no choice but to install 8.1 unless they wanted bad support on win7, and people with old hardware got left behind as per usual
Hit did look good on mobile tbh
JWhy imagine https://flathub.org/apps/com.microsoft.Edge
Flathub - Apps for Linux
Introducing the new Microsoft Edge web browser. It’s time to expect more. More privacy. More control. More productivity. More value.
Pjust that the old hardware wasn't ten years that time around
WI actually liked Windows 8, not 8.1
Windows 8 had THE BEST start menu search. It found exactly what you wanted every single time, even searching for a submenu of a control panel side tab and it will get you the thing you need instantly.

Hidk what prompted microsoft to think it would work on desktop
Pwith win10 > win11 it's an actual ten year difference
WWhen 8.1 released it started to really add the web results in all over the place and it was terrible.
VI'm tired of pretending windows phone was good. The only people saying it's good were the people who never used it.
Pi fucking owned a lumia and it was goodd
Pthem's fighting words
Mbest chromium browser cough vivaldi cough brave cough
Hwindows phone but like for all the wrong reasons
VName one thing you miss about Windows phone other than the launcher
Hthe devices were nice, the ui looked nice
Hand microsoft completely shit the bed with how they treated third party developers
Pdont wait 30 seconds for every app to launch
Pthat was the only issue
Pthey were awesome as actual phones tho
V
Hlike maybe consider not making it a bureaucratic torture test to allow someone to develop for your new platform with literally 0 current third party apps
VWindows to Go the goat
Hyou're not apple you know
Pthey still kinda are lmfaoooo
Mm$ store is weird
Mthey hide their update date and the version
Pi hear they're going to start offering free lollipops any time you get baited into using ms store to install a regular component
Mthey also have winget
Mso not sure what they want to go with
Pyou might wanna get that checked buddy
Hsatya nadella will personally come to your home and gift you a new Copilot+PC laptop with Microsoft Windows™ 11 Pro Enterprise N One 360 X Extended if you buy anything on ms store
VNothing will make me pay for nitro
Pyou got some kinda em bed fail ure
