I think Kaplin has talked me into giving it a shot. I need a new desktop & The only ones I see that have Windows 7 are more expensive. I will likely have to make the move at some point anyway.
(I'm waiting for someone to change my mind....) Side note: Where do you guys go to buy computers? Is there a reason to go somewhere other than Best Buy? They have some pretty cheap deals on desktops right now. |

The MAJOR problem with Windows 8 is that it was designed with the touch screen in mind. for tablets this is great and functions great. For the desktops that are out there in homes and business this is a major design flaw. When people have to go out and get third party software just to get the desktop to function normally this is a problem.
Shit, I wouldn't want a touchscreen desktop/laptop anyway. Defeats the whole purpose of it being a desktop/laptop. Now, if you have one of the convertible laptops that double as a tablet then it is a great OS. Windows 8 got ahead of itself and tried to force users into something they just plain are not ready for. Had 60% or more users already been on touchscreen tech then it would have worked.

Eh, I'll gripe about the UI, but it's been rock solid for me in terms of performance.

Just too odd that it screwed up after a windows update. I'll get it figured out.
