Because to them, installing a third party app for a start menu is the end of the world.

People hate it as they hate windows 8 in general, it's a touchcentric gui that's being mainly used by people who have non-touch desktops/laptops.

because poo in the loo

I love Windows 8.1 senpai

>>55313280

Windows 8.1 is bad in every way.

Forget the tablet mode...it's a bitch to install. Took me 3x long to install vs Windows 10. The OS is basically vista-ized at this point. Microsoft abandoned it.

>>55313815
Nah, it still has longer support than W7.

Just install it mongoloid, it's missing all those features.

>>55316733
Because the only reason MS crippled this is because their metro applications would not work anymore. Some legacy programs require it also to disable VSync in desktop (for Photoshop for instance)

>>55316378
I'd say pass. The mere fact that they push it so hard puts me off.

Also,

No fanks.

Using 8.1 for the last year and a half, I dunno about DAZ loader but I haven't had to reactivate KMS once since I installed it.

This. Windows' network share is a fucking joke,
