I just (over the week end) bought a dell and it came with windows 8. At first it was very confusing but after using it for just 2 days, I wound never go back {I was using Vista}.
While the new computer is fast the OS is faster than a scalded dawg.
Windows 8 is very intuitive but since it is different, the reviews are spotty.
I like it and I'm not an Abbey Shuto.
Did you have some way to turn it off it it didn't?
