I feel like Windows 8.1's reputation was destroyed by Windows 8. Windows 8.1 was/is Windows 7 with touch support for a type of device that was only just entering the market. I think it was a bit like Windows Vista where the OS was great but the hardware was not ready. I am running Windows 11 on that kind of device and I think I might put 8.1 on there while I wait for more touch support on Linux desktop environments.
Well, Wayland has better touch screen support than X11 though it's a hit or miss for my DE (KDE Plasma) since the Wayland session there is still buggy as hell. On the other hand, GNOME has a great Wayland session (even if I don't like the DE itself)
@@emmanueljimenez1574 I found Fedora GNOME works extremely well on touch. I was initially more of a KDE fan but GNOME is great on a convertible laptop.
@@LanaScottSlow? 8.1 had faster boot times than and it was not destoryed because it was slow (Ps:if you want your computer/laptop to work faster, buy a SSD)
I am not a big fan of Windows 8, but atleast the later start screens looked better than the first. The first one (Windows 7 Enterprise] actually convinced me that I am looking at Windows 95 lmao!

The windows 8.1 version is the April 2014 Update. The original Windows 8.1 doesn't have the shut down and search button and there isn't the store button in the application bar and onedrive is called skydrive like windows 8. Why you forgot em?

Do you know a Windows 8 preview build that still use Aero Glass but the minimize, maximize and close buttons are colored like macOS window control buttons?
The fact that Windows 8’s support lasted until a year before Vista’s EOL is pretty damning on the concept they were trying to push. With 8.1, it was the closest thing to having a Windows 7 setup with further support. And now it’s just a version that did everything well except truly fixing that one crippling flaw.

I think it's interesting to see the evolution of each single Windows version as it was developed, Windows 8 especially
i love the blue color on the early windows 8 builds

you can try dual boot with windows 8.1
I think windows 8.1 was destroyed because it was unbearably slow. I had the worst experience ever using it

I dont know why people did not like the windows 8 but for me the start on windows 8 is the best and most unique thing windows ever got.
agreed
Ur not the only one who loved 8’s ui😁
Same but they could add Aero theme so we could choose between Aero and Metro
even if the ribbon never was useful. it looks nice in the explorer with the Aero design.
It looks like it was designed for Windows 7!
I actually did use the ribbon, I kinda liked it.

I like the aesthetic they were going for in the betas, reminds me of old windows phones
That was definitely what they were going for, which makes it unique.
I still remember when I installed the consumer preview version of windows 8, the start up logo was a fish
lol
I don't hate windows 8 but hey those beta and RTM backgrounds look pretty dazzling even windows 8.1 seems more underrated than windows 10.
shhh...
let's not leak
our hard work
-microsoft when windows 8 was in alpha
we have windows 8 at our school :) the menu is kind of a mess but everything in general is perfect. i must say it does feel a bit like windows 7
That’s probably because you have the beta version
Looks better in the beta stages.
looks more like win7 in alpha

I thought these developer build expired by one year after Windows 8 release??
Windows 8: Are you kidding me?
They did expire. Difference is that the device restarts every 1-2 hours.
Windows 8.1 will die after a few moments, so I remembered it and went to this video and heard the music and it was kinda sad
I LOVE WINDOWS 8.1,sadly it end of support

Same!
Yes i same
i too
Microsoft's priority for Windows 8 was always to make the start screen the size of the entire screen ... 😮
The tiles the more you think about it if you could get small rectangular tiles that might look really good
0:18 this is Windows 8 Beta Build 7850 why didnt they change it to Windows 8 branding they just copypasted the branding from Windows 7
they didn't copy paste, they just didn't change it until later in development.
They didn't start from scratch in windows 8, what they basically did is take windows 7 and changed it
the windows 8 logo didnt exist in build 7850 times
I like the Consumer Preview Build
me developer preview and lower builds
Windows 8 maybe failed, but in my opinion this Windows is Dope AF. Sorry, the Windows 10 and 11 are Boring
Windows 8.1 is my fav
Everything fits unlike windows 10
I will never understand why they removed the Start button in 8. It looks like a bug or a glitch without it. What was even the point?
That happens when M$ launches a Feedback program... But they they don't pay attention to its customers 😒

I am an Windows 11 user , but, this, it was the biggest update ever . Sadly It is out of support. R.I.P Windows 8.1
It's looks like an windows 8 Build 7850 0:20
Windows 8 build 7955 should be a new operating system like windows 7.1
That was my childhood os , now is gone end of support
I love windows 8
bruh windows 8's ui is the proof that evolution can go backwards
I LOVE WINDOWS 8.1 SADLY END OF SUPPORT
I love 8.1 and 10 and 11
POV: You're wondering why half of these comments are talking about Windows 8.1
windows 8.1 is basically a minor update to windows 8 which brings back the start button
Unpopular Opinion: this is top 1 of Windows (sadly that this windows was overshdowed by other windows like windows 7 and windows xp and windows 10)
Windows 8 (7850) I would be that is Windows 7 (7850-MAX BUILD VERSION)
