I tried to install it and it failed after 58% with no error message other than it had failed.

MS and their tech forums had me unplug devices, change hashtags, disable all running programs - still no luck. Then they said I would have to do a clean install (wipe out all existing programs and files even though they said you can install it and keep your current programs and files).

Went and bought a WIN8 PC and then found out it will not support a POP3 email server. I don’t want to change my email server to another email provider because it will result in confusion and loss of orders from my clients.

Although this is a MAJOR problem for Win8, once I got used to the interface and how to use the start screen, and customize it, it works well. It also has a tab to go to the desktop - which looks like the windows most users are used to.

Jury still out at this time, but appears to manage memory well....
