Has Microsoft made Windows 8 much better with its Windows 8.1 tweak? Not really, says David Pogue, tech writer for the New York Times. In a recent sneak peek of the tweak, Pogue writes that if you\u2019re not a fan of Windows 8, you probably won\u2019t like Windows 8.1, either.<\/p>\n
The problems<\/b><\/p>\n
First, Windows 8.1 doesn\u2019t bring back the Start menu. Users who want it will still have to install a third-party app that restores it.<\/p>\n
Two worlds<\/b><\/p>\n
Secondly, Windows 8.1 still doesn\u2019t know if it\u2019s a touch-screen or mouse-and-keyboard system. The system\u2019s TileWorld section works the best for touchscreens. But its Desktop section is definitely made to be navigated with a mouse and keyboard. By splitting itself in two like this, Windows 8.1 doesn\u2019t make anyone happy.<\/p>\n
A disappointment<\/b><\/p>\n
Pogue\u2019s advice is simple: If you aren\u2019t a fan of Windows 8, don\u2019t purchase Windows 8.1. You won\u2019t become a fan of it, either. Our advice? Stay with Windows 7. That\u2019s an excellent operating system.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
