Had to work with M$ Windows 8.1 the first time on Wednesday. Also bought the first time a branded computer. But it feels much more like it is a convenient surveillance machine. Our PC at kindergarten was quite an old WinXP machine and I had planned to replace it until April. This week it broke and we needed a replacement now.
It is an Acer desktop PC with built in surveillance tools bluetooth enabled, WIFI enabled and millions of pre installed tools I have no idea what they are all doing. The tasks you have to do during installation have really changed a lot and are so different from what I knew so far. Actually I only answered questions about privacy and what what I don't want to allow Micro$oft. Really strange! 
OMG what is all this pre installed stuff? I was 2 hours busy deleting all the crap, just to realise that every new user I create gets all this crap installed again. 
There have been two trial virus scanner, 2-3 cloud storage services, 2 weather apps, 3 music streaming services, 2 travel booking tools, 3 news readers, millions of games, etc.
Eleven hours after first contact I had also the first crash when accessing a USB harddisk, only metro was working, but not the old desktop anymore.
Still preparing the new computer with software they need and transferring the old data and settings over to the new one. So this is what I have been up the last few days.
