Win98 and XP were the read deal, but the other two were just minor and flawed interim releases. I also recently built a new system with Windows 7 x64 and it is stable and fast, and although there was a slight learning curve when moving from XP it hasn't been arduous.
Anyway, my large monitor is a good 3' from my seating position, so does MS really expect me to lean forward and reach out and touch it 1000 times per day? If I had a tablet it might be different, but I can't see ever buying one of those things. | My System Specs |

No Windows 8 for me! I don't like the iOS style of it, but they are all at it; Apple's Mountain Lion is more of the same; Leopard was better IMHO. W8 is ok on a tablet or phone, but I have serious reservations about it as a main OS on desk/laptop. | | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit

How to Use Windows 8? Search for It Quote: ...But I’ve always been troubled by the duality of Windows 8: the fact that it has two completely different environments. One is for finger operation on touchscreens; the other is the traditional mouse/keyboard desktop.
The traditional desktop runs regular Windows programs (Photoshop, Quicken, iTunes, and so on); the new touchscreen interface, which I’ll call TileWorld, requires a whole new set of full-screen, fairly simple apps.

More Than 3 Out of 4 Enthusiasts Reject Windows 8 problems? All times are GMT -5. The time now is 12:16 PM. |  |
Is there a way to force Windows 7 to reject certain hardware?
