All of the lab computers at my school's CS department were upgraded this year from Windows 7 to Windows 8. Today I had to print out a Lisp Assignment for class, and the only computer in the lab was booted up in Windows 8 rather than Linux, and I was in a rush, so I figured "Eh, how bad could it be?"
Goodness. What were they thinking?
Downloading the file from my email wasn't so bad, but for the life of me I couldn't figure out how to open the file system from anywhere. I had to open the file browser by clicking through the recycling bin on the desktop. That's right, Microsoft made me metaphorically climb through garbage to get at my shit.

I'm not planning on buying a new OS until 9 comes out. Hopefully Microsoft will have gotten over all the tiles bullshit they've been trying to force down customers throats with 8.

Your school should have pinned the file browser to the task bar, or "my computer" to the desktop...

Apparently they didn't.

I am genuinely impressed by how well Microsoft hid core desktop functions from users. With 8.1, most of the things you need can be accessed by right-clicking in the bottom-left corner.

I'll try to remember that I guess >_>
