NOt up on that lingo. Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Welp, I just ordered a new desktop with Windows 8.1 Pro. I'll let you guys know the real scoop in about 2 weeks.

The problem with Windows 8 is that there's virtually no reason why you would want to upgrade from 7. The new UI is more of an annoyance than anything else and that's the only real difference. You could justify going from XP to 7 (let's just skip Vista because of the horrible launch it had) but not from 7 to 8.

Don't know what you mean by "runs better." CIFS/SMB performance should be practically the exact same.

I'm guessing he's talking about applications loading and there's a reason for it - much like other tablet/smartphone OS', Windows 8 apps don't shut down. They continue running in the background in a low-CPU state. So the next time you open Word, it opens almost instantly. |
