Apparently windows 8 works best on touch screen machines but sucks balls on normal pcs.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

I don't know if Microsoft has backed down on preventing you from running unsigned applications on your ARM device.

If not, then Win8 is DOA for me.

I'll keep my Win7.

Never used it, the pictures of the UI look like something designed for a 3 year old!
It may be ok on a fondle slab, but not with a keyboard & mouse.

If your Windoze 7 works ok don't change it!
The meek shall inherit the Earth, the rest of us will fly to the stars.

Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups

Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud ..... after a while you realise that the pig likes it!
