>>It’s a whole new day for Windows, as it becomes free.
Yeah. Riiiiiiight.
Windows with Bing will be free. Just watch a few ads or be locked out of other browsers. Then, the sidebars start getting filled up with ads. Eventually, your computer slows to a crawl to load all the advertising.
Then, they offer an “upgrade” to get rid of all that and it only costs the same as regular Win 8.1.
I’ll stick with 7.
Oh, me too. I really like Win 7. Works great. I see no advantage to 8 for what I do.
I think this is to help their app developer community now that they are going back to the desktop by default. The interface of 8 was such a pain in the first place, because they were thinking of the app developers, not the users.
