Last day for Windows 8 cheap upgrade price

Major releases of Windows are like Star Trek movies; every other one sucks.

Not surprisingly, every other version tries to come up with something radically different.

Windows 8 is a tablet OS that MS is trying to sell as a desktop OS. Great with a touchscreen; not so much with a mouse.

Windows 7 fixed most of the new-but-broken stuff from Vista. Here's hoping that Windows 9 will fix Windows 8. Until then, I'm staying with 7. Or XP...

 

Yeah it'll be fun to see. Got it down loaded then started making duplicate full back ups before trying to in stall. Wheeee

 

I've never really taken any time with Linux. Would it run on a net book do you think?

 

Hey Don,

I just upgraded my laptop and it's got Windows 8 on it. Do you know anyway to drop that and just use the regular desktop. I don't have a touch screen and so far, don't much care for the tabs....icons....whatever.

The only thing Windows 8 is good for is a pad device and for social networking, email, web browsing, etc. If you need a machine that can be a workhorse when needed, and can be depended on to run current and legacy apps, better stick with Windows 7 (and move from Vista if you haven't already)

 

K7tkr -

I think awhile back someone on TTR posted how they took Win8 and redid it to make it more like Win7 in as the screen displays.
