I've seen either pc or tablets as I walked by them that had like a screen full of small boxes....I think the screen was blue in color ?
Is that one of the newer operating systems ? I know I found a phone once that was a "Windows" phone and had the same look to it....That is not something that I would care for on my laptop....I like having a nice wallpaper to look at along with individual icons that have a look all their own....The boxes are not for me....
Yeah thats the horrible user interface that Windows 8 uses. You're not alone in not liking the looks of it: If Windows 7 was still a widely available option on new desktops and laptops, no one would buy a computer that came with Windows 8.
I've downgraded a lot of laptops from Windows 8 to Windows 7 for friends and family with a legit pirated copy (after I confirmed that hardware drivers were available from the laptop manufacturer for Windows 7). I even warned them that doing so would void their hardware warranty. They didn't care. Having a usable computer system was more important to them.
What is a legit pirated copy? It's an image (*.iso file) of the Windows 7 installer that has a matching checksum to what MSDN has posted. This means that not even 1 bit of data has been altered and is exactly the same as what Microsoft released.
