We have tried every version since XP and always ended up going back. Windows 7 had the best chance of replacing XP until we found that I couldn’t print anything. I haven’t even looked at 8, I’ll just assume it sucks like all of the other upgrades.

Why does it seem like everyone thinks every update to Windows is terrible, like it is a badge of honor to say so?

People used to think XP was lousy too in 2002, and now they swear by it.

I’ve been upgrading with every version of Windows - - the initial Vista was a problem, but the upgrades had the system working well. Seven works well, but I have a problem running more than one printer. That really frosted my fern.

A few months ago I decided to buy a macbook pro. It is a worthwhile investment. Clean, logical and works without a glitch. It does not have the bells and whistles that you can find for windows, but it is a better work computer and everything works perfectly.

Curious, what do you mean by “couldn’t print anything.”?
