    If you are mainly concerned with the old Start Menu, replacements are out there. But if you really like Windows Seven Glass, you can't get there from here. Windows 8 even with custom themes can't hold a candle to W7.

    I'm running W8 on a Laptop. Seems to run fine. And with Pin To Taskbar, Pin To Start and FARR launcher I don't have problems running programs. But I do miss the Windows Glass and composition. Especially since I busted my ass to add glass support to some of my programs. Now it's just chucked aside!!! Jeez.

    hummer7 does your supplier of the new computer give you a option to have Windows 7 installed instead of Windows 8.
    If not I would look around and see other suppliers.
