It does work fine for me, though. (Destiny)

The OS is faster than 8. It's better than 8. It makes more sense than 8. I think it's a huge upgrade over Windows 7 as well.

Just curious about this. I like Win7 a lot and have 8.1 on my laptop that I'm pretty happy with. What about it makes more sense? And you think it really is faster?

I don't know if the normal operations, such as opening programs and apps, are any faster. I do feel like starting and shutdown are quicker. I also like the new pin login. It's really no different than a password, but when you type it in correctly is just automatically logs in. No need to hit the enter button. That is a really trivial thing though.

The new cortana and search feature is nice to use. You can either just ask her to find something, or type it in. It searches your laptop and the web using bing. I haven't checked to see if I can get her to swap to google.
