    Call me crazy but I genuinely loved the aesthetic and design on Windows 8.1 just hated the execution of it. I also loved my Windows Phone, shame it had no apps on it though

    For a PC that still runs on a processor like the old Athlon that originally runs Vista
    Windows 8.1 is a good os to run a little modern apps without performance loss like in Windows 10 ;)

  • @NetMan_PL
    @NetMan_PL Před 9 měsíci +49

    To be completely honest, I like 8.1 - I still like the aesthetic of it, but if you don't, it still could be useful: with the right tweaks you have more features and updates than 7 and you can recreate its look with transformation packs

    It’s fascinating that Windows 8.1 has always felt like an ordinary release of the time, but with how detrimental it feels to use modern day Windows 10+ on anything that isn’t of gaming spec, it feels like a luxury to use in comparison.

    • @3ofSpades
      @3ofSpades Před měsícem

      Yeah, windows 8.1 by comparison to 10 just works so much faster. I thought that was why were supposed to have new software in the first place, it was supposedly better, now we only have it because software design has been invaded by EA, so they just find something good and make it slightly worse until it becomes terrible and you have to do something about it or give up and accept whatever you're told. I didn't sign up to be kicked around.

    I had the same issues on Windows 8.1 with legacy update and managed to fix it by installing these updates manually: KB2919442, KB2932046, KB2934018, KB2937592, KB2938439, KB2959977 and then the update to run last is KB2919255.
    I know its a hassle to do but this did actually work for me and i was able to update Windows normally.
    Hope this helps.

  • @davinp
    @davinp Před 9 měsíci +1

    Microsoft misunderstood and thought that touch screens and tablets were taking off, everyone would be using them, so they decided to make Windows touch screen friendly. The problem it didn't work well for desktop users. Many still use laptops that are non-touch screen using keyboard and mouse

    • @TehKaiser
      @TehKaiser Před 9 měsíci +1

      They actually made the best interfacing for phones(having used a Lumia 635, the keyboard and navigation is better than Android or Apple) but did not have the app support.
      8 was better in terms of security and some efficiency. The flat graphics were a downgrade.

  • @avcat1209
    @avcat1209 Před 5 měsíci

    You are not wrong about the UI being clunky on desktop/laptops with keyboard and mouse. Yes Microsoft should have had different versions one optimized for touch screen appliances, one optimized for keyboard/mouse appliances. (like Windows had Windows, Windows RT, Windows embedded,etc). Windows 8/8.1 would have been more popular/loved. (I today use Linux. I would hate for my Linux desktop environment to resemble a smartphone UI and be optimized for touch screen. My pc is non touch screen).
    To be fair, Steve Ballmer"s dream (vision) was to have the same OS look, feel across all your Windows devices. Desktop PC at work. You come home from work, same environment is on your at home desktop PC, your laptop, your tablet (I think Microsoft called those Surface), and your phone which was on you most of the time. All would look the same, act very similar, and communicate to each other seamlessly. Sort of like an "ecosystem" but for Windows (similar to Apple's ecosystem for their devices). Like Steve or hate Steve, this was a good idea. It just ended up being poorly implemented. (Like many things are with Microsoft it seems).
    I did not have the "ecosystem", but I had a Windows 8/8.1 laptop, and a Nokia Windows phone (my first smartphone. Ran it 5 yrs. Only stopped because charging port broke loose, and due it being a well known Nokia issue, no parts existed to repair by time mine broke). The laptop and the phone operated the same (phone was like a mini Win 8 computer. The laptop and the phone communicated and synced with each other seamlessly. Phone communicated with my Win 7 desktop computer, seamlessly. (I figured out how to do this between my Linux/Win 7 desktop, Win 10 laptop, Linux laptop, Android phone. I "reimplemented Steve Ballmer's dream on my own devices- it was a cool project to do during the 'sickness' incident of recent past).
    I use an Android phone today. While I love Android and use it well, if Windows phone were still a thing, I would opt for it over Android (sorry Google) any day of the week. We liked to laugh about and make fun of Steve Ballmer. Given some of recent day Microsoft decisions, I myself say things weren"t as bad with ol' Steve as we made it out to be.
