If there are classes that use Windows then, those classes need to be QCed again to make sure it runs with the new software and then as necessary, changes made to the class to reflect the changes in the OS - OS changes are not seamless and no claims have been made that it is. This takes much time and much preparation before any switchover is done. It sounds like none of this was checked in QC before going "live".
you honestly think that IT dept did this overnight? LOL The proposal to switch goes back in 2011. The switch has to be approved by the school .. nothing to do with quality control. you still cannot solve mega win 8 issue .. it takes more memory from Ram to load.
our lab is a brand new lab. Thanks to prop we got money for brand new computers. so everything is spanking new. It opened up last semester. I only ended up there this semester. I am still installing stuff on most of the machines.
C++ classes - those issues have been going on since 2013. Over the winter they will replicate windows 7 drives and reinstall windows 7 as it was earlier. Probably we will go there and install our lab's duplicate drive because it is working perfectly with windows 7 and we have everything those classes need.
once we switch back, our students will be happy!
and BTW this question was posted right when moon was void and squaring merc out of a sign .. what Lenovo he wanted .. shouldn't get it in the first place. you guys can argue all day long about what a wonder OS windows 8 LOL is .. i am staying out of it. I worked with it not from front end but am troubleshooting it. it is as bad as vista. I rather troubleshoot on windows 3.11 my first troubleshooting machine. Matrix1 can say "pure BS" all he/she wants. I aint switching. Besides windows 10 is coming next year, another reason not to get windows 8. I had seen enough problems with that WinKrap8! If you are happy, good luck!
