I, too, am happy with Win 8. Much more stable than any other version I have used. And I’ve been around PC’s since their inception.
I purchased two HP 23 inch touch screens with Windows 8. They replaced one 8 year old XP Dell and one 6 year old XP Dell.
We love the new HPs. As for Win 8, excuse me but there is so much BS about Win 8. I will take it over Win XP any time.
Everything about these desk top PCs is amazing. For us, we want big screen desk top PCs for use at home, and tablets for use while away from home. We would never consider substituting a tablet for a desk top PC, especially when it comes to using Microsoft Word and Excel.
