Have you dealt with Windows 8? They changed the interface so much that I had to look up on the Internet just how to turn it off!

It’s the whole moving the mouse cursor to the bottom right that’s the problem. Who the heck knows to move it there? But once you know it, it becomes intuitive.

Windows 7 was bad enough with the semi-transparent nonsense that actually made my desktop look more cluttered rather than less.

Now Windows 8 requires a touch screen which is nonsense for a PC.

I recently got a rather large LCD screen for my PC so that it would be a decent replacement for a TV. I can watch Netflix movies on it and it's great. I certainly don't want to have some screen that is littered with fingerprints.

The turning off thing is a good argument. I don’t know what they were thinking. Alt-F4 from the non-Start screen is my easiest out.

LOL. We 'upgraded' to Win 7 at work recently.
Got Word 2007 in the pkg. I had to search for the PRINT button.

Never found it. So to print it's...CTRL P. :)
That version of Word is a major step backward.

I have one XP machine my wife plays games on. Not connected to the internet.
Other 3 'puters are Macs. Yes, I switched starting in 2007. Smart move.
