Let me guess, it takes 50gigs of memory, four 7 core chips running @5ghtz and a 4 terrabyte disk, with a $500 video card to play a movie. Oh and it checks email and posts on Face Book.

If you stop and think about it XP runs everything just fine except they quit using IE after 8. I just don't see the need for much more than what we have right now unless you render video or something. Now if it blocks spam and malware, I'm in.

I’d be happy to stick with Windows 7 or XP.

I absolutely hate 8.1 and seriously consider paying a couple hundred dollars to ‘downgrade’ my newest laptop to 7.

And another thing I absolutely hate, is the trend to have to ‘rent’ software and run it from ‘the cloud’ in many cases.

And why do so many windows 8.1 “Apps” (Like solitaire, for example, which you now have to buy/rent from a third party programmer/vendor) require constant access to internet and other applications that have nothing to do with its ability to deal, move and stack cards?
