Speaking of cookies and confusers:

It’s no secret I recently acquired a new confuser — a Samsung Series 7 64-bit all-in-one with a 27″ screen for usage at my wifely wife’s home in Ghetto Centrale, or what I typify as Baja Mack Road.

Love the screen, absolutely despise the OS, which is Windows 8.

As opposed to something that is even remotely intuitive, Windows 8 is roughly as intuitive as a woman’s brain or her ability to apply logic.  Makes me wonder: Windows 8 developers were only female?  So, apparently.

I know the ancestry of Windows 8, as does anyone with an iPad, iPod, iPOS, iPhone, iCarp, iPiss or any manner or make of “smart phone” or tablet.  It’s an attempt to tap into the “touch” market without any regard for a computer user’s actual wish to touch a confuser screen.

Whereas, with something you hold in either a single hand — witness a smart phone — or something you may hold in two hands — as a tablet — the Apple touch system or Android system makes good use of your thumbs or the swish of a fingertip, in terms of convenience.

To think that idea would translate well into a full-sized confuser setup on, say, a huge computer screen such as mine is quite unfortunate, as to border on moronic.  I do NOT want to reach over to constantly touch my confuser screen.  Because that means I have to CLEAN my screen almost constantly, as I do not care for swirls and swishes on the screen.

Okay, let me unpack: it IS moronic.  I do NOT wish to constantly touch my large screen to get somewhere.  I do NOT want to smear my screen or constantly bend to enable said touching.  Sometimes I care to lounge in my chair with my arm resting on an extended desk shelf, hand resting on mouse.  Sometimes I wish to have the keyboard on my lap whilst I likewise kick back in said Herman Miller Aeron chair.

Further, Windows 8 is the Software Nazi.  It is telling me that I am only have a certain few number of days left on pieces of software I have owned for years, and that I must re-register these pieces of software or purchase them again in their entirety.  To that I reply, kindly, to Microsoft: fuck you.  I’m not doing that nor am I going to accept your totalic rule.  I’ll rip you out by your oppressive guts before I submit.

Windows 8 is nothing like Windows 7, to the point that I am seriously considering ripping Windows 8 right out of my confuser and starting entirely over, with Windows 7 Professional in 64-bit.

That said, anyone else have any experiences with Windows 8 because, as far as I’m concerned, I can’t help but wish hate, discontent and evil things upon Microsoft.  Not to mention a massive plummet in earnings.
