At this point, given how you claim to be ‘low tech’, I’m not going to lead you down the path of buying a brand new machine, installing another Operating System and facing potential hardware support/driver hell.
Right now, If you can’t get something with Windows 7 pre-installed, I’d just wait for the next release of Windows, because you would ABSOLUTELY HATE Windows 8.x, it would be like a bad dream to you, each and every time you use your computer. How bad it is can’t be overstated! (seriously)
I honestly can’t imagine how a company as large and wealthy as Microsoft could allow such a colossal piece of shit ‘out the door’! It’s truly amazing.
They have GOT to operate internally in a way that’s similar to our Federal government, but with more foreigners. It’s probably filled with unproductive liberals, one department has no idea what other departments are doing, there are more ‘managers’ than actual productive workers, and they barely communicate. THAT’S the only type of operation that could produce a Windows 8! lol
I reckon they’ll get another shot at it with the next version. I CAN’T BELIEVE no one has replaced their sorry asses yet.
I thought Google would have eaten their lunch by now.....
Thanks for the tip.We may just hold off as you suggest.
Isn’t there some kind of law in the universe that says every other upgrade stinks and every other upgrade fixes the stinky one and is actually good?
Hopefully, the next one will be good.
Tell us how you really feel. Don’t hold back.:)
I second your assessment BTW.
After trying to use my granddaughter’s laptop w/ Win 8, I threw up my hands in frustration and kissed my MacBook.
