Thanks for the substantive input. Yet i read that W/8 was better on older HW than Vista, while so far WTP seems to use less ram than W/8.
With the ever-narrowing support schema from Microsoft I find myself doing more to try to stay ahead of them (migration to Win-7 was particularly brutal for us).
Yes, but this upgrade should not be much of a problem, yet it hardly seems worth it. See my above comments on speech to text/commands, which i think has lots of potential.
It is my opinion that Windows 8 is at best an entertainment operating system. It is a failure as a business class OS. Unless ones inclusive use of the computer is to surf the internet and read emails it isn’t going to cut the mustard. From my preliminary tests Win-10 might possibly accomplish what Win-8 can’t and will be the next major platform for business.
IMO Microsoft’s missteps have given Apple and Linux some great opportunities to make inroads on their monopoly.
