Well I like 8, but I suppose if you dont take time with it it can be I guess a pain. I hope they offer me a discount for the upgrade like they did for Vista users.

I wish I had my old Vista, would perhaps switch to 9
if they made it cheap enough.

I’ve learned to tolerate 8. But it just isn’t good. Tablet-centric design causes some serious stupid, like the always full screen calculator and the jacked up internet first Media Center replacement. Part of the problem is that I’m 7 at home and 8 at work and time and again things that are easy at home have no real direct path at work. If I never worked with 7 again I’d get used to 8 faster, but the constant supply of things easier on the earlier OS adds aggravation.

Windows 8 is good once it’s tweaked a little bit. People forget that XP inspired websites like Windows Annoyances and also required tweaks.

I have a computer that has not be used. Windows 8.1 came with the package. Do I now have to buy the 9 upgrade on a system I haven’t used?

It is easier to boot up another computer than to try to read attachments to E-mail. Microsoft office blocks reading downloads so I deleted that pos. Now all I get is a blank page for half a second then back to an open screen. It is just as transparent as 0!
