Default WINDOWS 8 BLOWS

Just when I thought I was getting to like it, the damned thing blew up I went to load an ROG screen saver (which was dumb cause my new lappy isn't ROG) and it told me it couldn't run because it wasn't win 8 compatible, so, I say OK to close the install... next thing I know DOS boxes are opening and closing the the screen goes black So I press F9 and go into safe mode, no dice, black screen

I end up opening a command window and manually backup my files to a thumb drive just in case the "refresh" doesn't keep the files as promised.


2 hours later, and I'm back to where I was before this shit started

Win 8 does have some nice features, and the start screen ain't one of the :, but it doesn't seem to be ready for prime time yet... could that be why Microsoft has already announced Win 9 for next year

jeeezzzz

Tomorrow I gotta replace the power recepitacle on my ROG laptop... that should be fun ..... I'm told this is a known design flaw in the model I have (G53JW), but I've got two new fans and a new keyboard so why send it to ASUS for a month....

New lappy has a 3630QM with a 635m nvidia card with 2GB, not too shabby and a whole lot cheaper than the ROG version Oh, and Bang & Ohlafsen sound with a little plug in sub woofer and all
