Countdown until the Microsoft vendors/salesmen find this thread and claim Windows 8 is really great but we are just stupid to realize how brilliant it and Bill Gates are

In 3, 2, 1.....

Biggest problem with Windows 8 is that the interface that’s optimized for phones and tablets is also the default for desktop and laptop PCs. I got mine to work like Windows 7 with no help from MS. The only reason I upgraded from 7 was to test my code in the Win8 environment.

Quite to my surprise my 76 year old sister in law bought a desktop with windows 8 and likes it. She had an older machine using 7 that died. I had suggested she buy a replacement direct from dell and have it set up with Windows 7 so if she had a problem I could help out.

I have 2 laptops and 2 tablets. I will be replacing the older XP laptop at the end of the year and will consider 8.
