ahahaha!! - Microsoft wished I worked for them
In all honesty dude, I agree with you about most aspects, but a couple of tweaks and I find its more than good enough as a replacement for Windows 7 (price was my main factor in upgrading!). In fact recent sales figures prove its more popular than Windows 7 was! :
Source: http://www.dailytech.com/Windows+8+B...ticle29288.htmIn its first month of sales Windows 8 has moved 40 million licenses, according to Microsoft. The company announced the news in a blog post and at a conference presentation. It also points out that buoyed by reduced upgrade fees, the Windows 8 upgrade rate is outpacing that of Windows 7, the previous sales record-holder.
Like I said - whether you or I like it or not, its Microsoft's next operating system and its here to stay unfortunately. Without getting into tit for tat conversation regarding the operating system (simple advantages are speed and dx11.1 compatibility over W7 for a start, and yes I acknowledge a requirement to slightly retrain staff etc for business use - but this is what consumer computing is about) - learn to move with the times old man :p
ASRock should be providing up to date operating system drivers - If they simply optimise their existing W7 drivers and take advantage of the new functionality of W8 (Fast boot for example) it will ensure customer loyalty in future and show a commitment to supporting their range of products.
Every other component in my PC (which requires a driver) has had a new driver released, BUT my mainboard which is actually one of the most important bits, i'm sure you'll agree.
