Windows 8

[Alfonse]

Ahh Unix. I was just thinking about applications like Wings the other day and how glitch free they were. They hardly took any processing power or memory either.

I got a tutorial from my 12yo nephew last weekend so I'm feeling a lot better about windows 8.

It doesn't make much sense though if you don't have a touch screen (at least as I understand from my very limited experience).

I just hope they don't go changing it back as soon as I finally get it figured out.

It has already changed to Windows 8.1

I don't even know how to check to see which version I am running...

That's my if it ain't broke don't fix it issue with Win 8. Our desktop and high end laptops are all non-touchscreen. Tablet is non-Win. I kinda wish we'd started the switch to Apple a while back but changing infrastructures is expensive and inconvenient. Probably gonna bite the bullet next time around but that will be a few years and hopefully I'll be dead by then.

Heck, you'll probably live forever. And you might as well spend your kid's money anyways. Let 'em fend for themselves.

But I agree with your "ain't broke don't fix it" philosophy. I was running an old windows vista machine until I finally physically broke it. It was still running fine. But just as a first impression, I'm OK with this windows 8 machine. The apple products definitely align/coordinate better with one another but I'm still a windows/android user.

Windows 8

I solved my Windows problems 6 years ago. It was easy, I bought a Mac. I still have the same Mac, still runs as good as the day I bought it. Once you go Mac, you never go back.

I needed a new laptop & after years of frustration with Windows, both at home & work, I happily dropped the extra coin for a MacBook Pro. I'm one of those people that doesn't mind spending the extra $ on something that works as advertised & saves me unnecessary headaches. Microsoft can suck the big one!

I build my own PC's and load whatever I want I it. I hear Windows 8 really isn't that bad with the new update to 8.1. I normally rush right out to buy the latest Windows OS. I bought 95, 98, 2000, 7 all practically on the day they were released. I still have no desire really to get Windows 8, all those desktop tweaks can all be done in the Windows registry.

When it was time for a new computer I spent five minutes with Windows 8 and that was enough to send me to Apple for a Mac Mini, something I should have done years ago.
