I would like to burn windows 8 with fire. But only on computers where it does not belong. Designed for tablets, but let's put it on peoples computers just to mess with them.

As I stated earlier-Windows 8 is the biggest piece of garbage to come out of MicroSoft during the last several years. It is overly complicated, over thought out.

 

The proof is this-it is now known that MircroSoft is coming out ith Windows 8.1 a free upgrade that will address many of the complaints of Windows 8. THEY WILL INCLUDE A START BUTTON with this upgrade. It will be out around August.

 

I will keep my Windows 7 machine. I returned a nice samsung computer that had windows 8. When the girl behind the counter asked me what was wrong with the machine-I simply stated "Windows 8" and handed her my receipt for a refund.

While I'm not saying windows 8 is great at least it runs. They should have put 7 as a free upgrade for vista, that would really improve customer satisfaction and probably made for a more positive view on 8. I may actually upgrade once the 8.1 comes out. I do think whatever windows 9 is will be a little more like 7 though but some of these changes are probably going to stick. If you are in a technology using job it never hurts to say you know how to use something new. Though 7 will stick around with most smart business for the lifespan of 8.

I haven't looked into it yet but I read a snippet somewhere that the start bar will just take you to the metro window lol. I'll confirm/disprove when I have time and remember. Amazing enough I really didn't have any problems with Vista. Maybe one day in the next few months I'll virtual machine 8 and see what all the fuss is about.

I believe I've heard the same. If they let you go to an all apps screen easier than the current start screen and swiping up I'd like that. It's no problem to me that the apps take up the whole screen actually kind of nice as I have a bunch of programs installed and the 7 bar is just a little cramped. I'm definitely trying a VM first as well.

Windows 8 is the biggest piece of garbage to come out of MicroSoft in a while. It is over thought, and over engineered. The biggest mistake was putting it on NON TOUCH devices/computers.

The more I use my laptop the more I like Windows 8. Once my Wife's laptop gets fixed I'm going to upgrade it from Vista to 8.

Windows 8 is where it is at.. Yes it is really frustrating right away but after a week of using there is no going back... Windows 8 is so fast even without a ssd. I will never have another Win7 device. 8 is great once you get your screen to your liking an then it syncs accross all your devices. doesn't matter what PC you make the change on ... I'm currently running Windows 8.1 on my devices now and Windwos only got better especially for desktop users. I do say everyone should give it a chance and no knock it until they use it for a while

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.

      I can't believe that could possibly be the case. It should be 36mo/100k miles from installation. Then again, it also seems like since a dealership installed it, it'd all be in the system and you wouldn't need to worry about registering, either. Shows you what I know. 😄 Hope this one outlives the warranty!

      I haven't seen inventory recovery from COVID.    In the few random times I 'build my own' truck or SUV, no one has the exact one I want.   GM has been working to lower incentives too for a long time.    A $500 incentive isn't getting me off the couch to go truck shopping.
