A bit of a revive!!!
Well I put up with windows 8 for over 6 months.....
Pro's..... None whatsoever.
Cons.... Doesn't run anything... You can't even get a C/C++ compiler for the crappy OS... Even MS visual studio doesn't really support C++ anymore.... You can't do anything.... You absolutely CANNOT run 16 bit applications... Smart screen prevents you from downloading anything that will help you... UAC is built in ( very deep) so to make any permanent changes is next to impossible...
It's been removed...... I have installed Windows 7 and I have managed to get everything I used to use running pretty well..
Windows 8 is definitely not for desktop applications... I don't even know why a developer would use this OS.. it seems to be aimed at babies, those who need mothering....
Waste of 6 months in my opinion...
