What? Why? Windows 8 is fabulous. If you disregard the metro/modern... thing. Installs in 15', loads in 15'', can run smoothly for months (and I don't mean without reinstalling, I mean without resetting).
Windows 8 and
Windows phone.
Hides and waits for shitstorm.
Yeah, the Metro UI was a spectacularly stupid idea. The only real advantage Windows has over other operating systems, in my opinion, is familiarity and the years of experience that users have of it - so to create a completely new, horribly un-intuitive interface was moronic. But I just use classic shell to get rid of that.
Anyway, the reason I hate it is the repeated 0xc00021a (blue screen of death) error or whatever it's called. It won't boot up properly, can't find the problem, can't repair it, won't enter safe mode, can't refresh or do a system restore - it's basically forcing me into a system reset and hard drive wipe which is a real PITA. Happened a few times now but this is the first time I can't find a solution.
Sorry about that, rant over.

If anyone knows a fix I'd be grateful.
