Win8 Display Stretched - Odd Aspect Ratio

Exactly. I mean, during the install you can choose to login as a local admin instead of logging in with your microsoft account. But still, the clunkiness remains. Now take the experience you just had and try to imagine implementing that in a business network with active directory. I mean, I'm sure it can all work out if enough effort is put in, but it's so ridiculously crappy that why would anyone want to?

I swear it didn't give me the option to set up a local user during the update to 8.1, or maybe I just missed it. It looked like the option was just missing to me.

but apparently 8.1 is considered a full fledged OS upgrade....

Ain't that a load of horse poop??? I mean, WTF? I had to get a free code to enable my upgrade to 8.1. I hope that charging for screwed up service packs does not become their model in the future.





As a side note, I was reading that the desktop PC market has been hurting in the last year, sales down a full 25% with people stating that it's all due to tablet sales, etc. IMO, this is wrong, it's due to M$ not allowing people to buy Win 7 on PC's anymore (which is why companies like HP and others have told M$ to stuff it, and they will sell Win7 again). I don't get the M$ obstinate attitude. It's like every other OS they try and cram a OS that few want down our throats, "But, ME is amazing", "But, Vista is amazing, we don't care if XP still works amazingly well", "But, Win8 is amazing, we don't care if Win7 still works amazingly well". Is it just me? Anyway, I like 8, except for all the bugs that I can't fix. I swear, I am am the king of bugs...

happened to me too. I actually think the trick is to click create new account and then there's a small bit of text at the bottom that says "continue using existing account" or something like that. It's hidden pretty well but I did find it on this last win8 machine I upgraded to 8.1.
