Windows 8 Woes
I've had Windows 8 on my work machine for several months now. I am still not used to the start screen, or the Metro Style apps, or the Windows app store -- and I don't think I ever will get used to it. However, I quite enjoy the speed of Windows 8, the ability to mount virtual CD images in Windows Explorer, and the new server management tools for Windows 8.
There's one thing that really drives me crazy though. The video drivers seem to be very unstable on Windows 8 on the Dell OptiPlex 990 that I use at work. I am constantly getting this message:
Then, just the other day, I saw my first blue screen of death on Windows 8:
I am using the latest AMD Catalyst software for windows 8. None of this happened on Windows 7. This system was very stable before. Granted, it might be AMD or Dell's fault, but I still want to blame Windows 8 for it.
