So I upgraded my Windows 7 to Windows 8. Horrible mistake. At first no metro apps would work. Turns out avast was blocking them, so had to update that. Then windows update took forever to work (which is nothing to do with my connection). And now stuff from the Windows app store won't even download.

I've no doubt that these issues will go eventually - but when you update your OS you want things to just work. I'm tempted to install Windows 8 cleanly to try and avoid these issues. Shame there's no "rollback" function.

Lol, if more people have those issues when they upgraded it would be a horrible fail from Microsoft, I installed W8 cleanly a few weeks ago and it run perfectly. Altrough i'm wondering where they hid the 30.000 apps they have (according to them >.>); since I can only find maybe 60 in the Store.

Besides that, Windows 8 is the best Windows so far. Metro was kinda annoying at the start but now I want nothing else :P The GUI is nice and clean, they improved a ton of things. To bad alot of drivers aren't W8 compatible yet.

Weird, that didn't happen to me.

The only problem I had was installing the operating system, when I had Windows 7 on my machine. Apparently avast didn't like the idea of my computer deleting system32. :P
