Meh, I've been feeling lazy about turning on my laptop as of late. I guess I should turn it on though, especially if I want to apply this month's Patch Tuesday updates. :P

I like how Microsoft tries to improve Windows 8.x every time they could. 8.1 is certainly very usable on a desktop. |
I still haven't even stepped foot into the Windows Store yet, believe it or not.

Then again, I just choose not to utilize metro apps at all. The only metro app I really use though is Netflix, but that's it.
|
I'll admit - I like the new-style PC Settings a lot more than Control Panel, if only because it's easy to see where you are.
|
It would've been really great if you were able to minimize and maximize Metro apps, or at least in desktops. That would've made it a whole lot easier to mutitask, if you ask me.

^That's one reason why I haven't upgraded to 8.1 yet. I'm still waiting for that to happen. xD
|
I think the Charms option made the Start button rather obsolete in Windows 8.
|
The Start Menu button in Windows 8.1 is just purely aesthetic, considering how in Windows 8, you could still pull up the Start Menu by clicking in the lower left corner of the screen.

I'm probably going to have XP on this laptop as long as it's around. It can't handle the newer stuff, and Skype hiccups horribly when I bring it into focus while streaming music off of YouTube and encoding a 720p video in Sony Vegas. I'm definitely putting 7 on the new computer I'm hoping to buy, though. :3

I'd suggest trying to do your usual stuff on your PC minus the video encoding and see if things improve. |
So last night my earbuds got washed in the washer and dryer because I forgot to take them out of my pockets. :/

I suspect even a pair of $20 earbuds are going to be either a significant improvement or offer you an in-line microphone and button if you're using it with a smartphone.
