Tried Win 8?
Authored by: Anonymous on Tuesday, April 09 2013 @ 02:15 PM EDT
We got a cheap "netbook" recently. This machine only comes with
Windows 8 pre-installed. The sale told me that if I want Windows 7, I would
need to pay extra $300 -- the netbook was $298. The initial setup requires me
to get an window live/hot-mail account(or the like, so that you will be
online(on the cloud if you will) and to be updated with the latest and greatest
"things" -- which I really hate. It took me almost half hour to
figure out how to put in a new local user account for booting up the machine.

Tried Win 8?

CyanogenMod is awesome. And for those screaming about Google being embedded in
Android, funny thing about CyanogenMod; if you want Google services, you have to
install them after you get CyanogenMod going. They're not in there by default
(except for the Google Search Bar at the top of the home page). No Gmail, no
Maps, no Play Store, no nothing. You want it, you have to get it yourself.

And people claim that this is Microsoft Internet Explorer all over again.
Hardly.
