Incredible, baseless impertinence ...

Of necessity I had to, with the new laptop, of course, the WIN 8 See, because it was pre-installed.
At first I was disappointed because I had no real options to personalize the PC, it "my" impose stamp. Then I have just installed Firefox, games like SIMS 2 installed in the compatibility mode, as they were not found WIN8. All well and good. Also I downloaded and installed my Origin program and some other open-source programs.
And then today I have signed up as usual ... and all my installed programs were gone. whether Firefox or Sims games. All deleted as part of an upgrade of Windows. I became really upset, especially because I of course never can not complain.
Therefore, I can not recommend this to anyone: Stay away from this operating system. Stay with Win Vista or Win 7, this is a thousand times better than WIN. 8
The app ads are a nuisance because they are going to install only on the WIN-Store. If you want to listen to music, this is only about "XBOX-Music" - Of course, associated with a Microsoft account. Your WIN store associated with the Microsoft account, the game store is linked to Microsoft, virtually everything you do is recorded by Microsoft and used to send you personalized advertising.
I can advise everyone there only: Stay away from WIN. 8
I'll even buy me now WIN7 soon as I can at least run all games ...
good night ...
