I wanted to post that, it gets me killed EVERY SINGLE GODDAMN TIME on BF3. I keep disabling it but it keeps coming up so I just accept that that's how I must live my life.

Same here, it's as if Windows is trolling me every time I want to play Battlefield.

Oh also the automatic shut down to do a windows update. Make me want to stab my computer when that happens during an overnight render or download.

feels on them, but really i can't complain a MASSIVE amount about windows, it's more attainable/more stuff on it than Linux, and it's just flat better in every way (for my usage) than Mac OS. I'll not complain!

Windows Anytime Upgrade. -_-

 

No, nvm. WinSAT. Ugh. Why can't Aero be enabled by default?

I think to fix that you go into computer > advanced system settings > performance then select something else besides "let windows babby sit my computer".

You can turn that off through gpedit, though, which is nice.

 

Only two things about Windows 8 really bug me at this point: search being totally broken and the more restricted file permissions.  Who the hell is TrustedInstaller and why does he have more control over my Program Files than I do? :lol:  And hopefully 8.1 fixes search.

the search is broken, but i think they changed something in 8.1 (not sure what/how) and maybe that is better. honestly tho, the search in win7 also had some issues. I never understood the whole permissions concept because on my computers i would only have one account. windows 8 also feels a bit odd because there is no aero glass

IT'S NOT FAST ENOUGH

but seriously I hate how when I mod Minecraft, I have to use win + r to actually bring up the Appdata folder, and I hate the user system being my PC is only for one person, and all the files are all weird, my (placebo) OCD gets to me

but I really love modding my themes, Placebo theme on my PC looks absolutely stunning

Things that irritate me:

  • windows can't be undecorated
  • Drive letters make programmers assume that their program is install on C:
  • The registry is there but programs rarely use the values they put into it
  • Can't make the CMD prompt full screen width (wtf?)
  • Homegroups and similar not being compatible across versions of windows (Which is why businesses still use XP)

Probably more I haven't encountered in a while too..

Things I've overcome: 

  • Multiscreen taskbars (thanks actual multimonitos)
  • Windows update is set to only warn me of security updates and its up to me to install them
  • Windows 8 on my laptop? I installed Crunchbang !#, problem solved.

That covers most of the problems I've shared with the other posts

Just to comment on some points:

 - Multi-screen taskbar is in Windows 8.

 - Companies don't use HomeGroup, they use the standard Network folder system. And that is not the reason why companies stick to XP.
