I have finally returned the Windows 8 laptop I borrowed for a week. I appreciate the loan, but windows 8 has got to be the suckiest thing that ever sucked. It is like a giant smart phone but some of functions remain total mysteries. You can’t look at help or search for something without opening what they call the “charm bar.” As far as I can tell, this happens only at random and only when you are trying to do something else. I did an internet search and found that you open this accursed thing by “swiping in” from the right edge of the screen. The meaning of this is apparently so obvious that nobody bothers to explain it and I am apparently so backward that I should not have a computer anymore since I cannot get it to happen no matter what I do.
As for the Dell itself, it is laid out for dwarfs or ewoks or something since you cannot type without hitting the touchscreen and having all kinds of random things happen.
Is Windows 10 better, or even worse? Does anyone know?
