This is exactly the reason I stopped using Skype.It bothers me a little every time I have to use the metro interface to remove and re-pair my bluetooth mouse when it stops working for no reason. I can accept that metro exists and that some people prefer it, but there should be a way to disable it 100%.Being forced to use it for certain tasks feels really sloppy, at best.
FTFY. Nothing wrong with 8/8.1 when you take metro out of it.2014 and people are idiots for not using Classic Shell/Start.
I think the logical answer is, that Windows 8 metro tries to bridge the gap to handheld tabs and in doing so fuck over desk top user. It does not add netto functionality - it is a dysfunction, not a feature. It should not be a default installation selection. Having to use 3rd party programs to fix this is appalling. This does in no way compare to a driver - a piece of software allowing windows to communicate with hardware.Do you bitch about a computer if you don't have Chrome installed over IE? Or 7zip over the standard zip program? Or it not working without installing drivers? How is installing Classic Start/similar any different? How can you possibly bitch this much about such a simple fix?
You seem dumb.
That's a matter of perspective. I suppose you're great at driving with a stick too? (Like every European). Tell you what. Let's 'meet Windows 8'. My favorite would be "Do more at once: Chat while gaming, shop while watching, or work while listening. Depending on your screen size, you can now see up to four apps on your screen at once and move with ease through all the ways you use your PC."It doesn't "fuck over" anybody. Don't like it? Don't use it. This works 99% of the time for me, and the other 1%, a reasonable person should be able to forgive along with the rest of the annoyances Windows brings to the table.
