Re: Windows 8

Personally, I think Win8 is worse than Win7. I like Win7 better. Win8 is harder to navigate, and the Start button function is awkward. I hope Win7 never goes away, or I won't use a computer anymore.

Os update, laptop, desktop, tablet, what did you get?
My only experience with W8 is on desktops. But the other day, I tried out a touch screen laptop with it at Staples and it is so awesome.  It was so fast, and it was like a budget $400 machine! Imagine what it could be on a real, top notch computer!

Honestly Windows 8 works much better as a touchscreen platform because I can't see myself using it. Windows 7 is quite possibly my favorite operating system and I don't think I'm that ready to turn away from it.

That's how I felt about XP too until my dad bought a Windows 7 machine and my whole life changed.

I definitely use 7 a lot, but I will always be attached to my XP machine.

Unfortunately though my dad just threw out our old machine. D:

Personally, I think Win7 is worse than WinXP. I like WinXP better. Win7 is harder to navigate, and the Aero window layout is awkward. I hope WinXP never goes away, or I won't use a computer anymore.

It's the kind of OS theme that reminds you of those olden day websites with comic sans, weird backgrounds and lots of gifs.
