Win8 does things for no apparent reason that I can tell.  It makes it very hard to multitask on a PC and even makes it hard to figure out how to use simple things like browsers.  I was using Chrome on my wife's laptop and somehow got to where it was displaying the HTML code of the webpage.  There are no menus or anything to back out of that.  I had to shut Chrome down and relaunch it.

Win8 is a phone/tablet OS that has no business being on PCs.  If I wanted a crippled computer I'd just use a phone or tablet to begin with.

LOL thats a chrome problem if anything. Win8 is just like Win7 once you install classic shell on it.

IE behaves the same as Chrome.  Not sure about Firefox.

Aah you must be using the metro versions of the applications. Don't do that. Install classic shell and use regular versions instead.

Which is clunky and feels like it was an after thought.

For god's sake, I wish they would quit trying to force more "features" on us.  Give me a bare bones OS with the ability to handle whatever new "features" I want to install.  Quit giving me trash laden systems that you have to spend countless hours stripping out all the junk you don't want.

Sounds to me like you want a linux machine ;)
