I know there is a big fix for a lot of what people don't like about it coming this fall but I have reached the point now where I have learned to work with it and make it look familiar. Once you get over the tiles and set up your desktop it runs good.

I've been doing it today, too. In regards Windows 7, seems to me it would be no problem to buy any new computer and then buy Windows 7 and install it. It might be more expensive that way, since 7 or 8 always comes free with the system, but if 8 stinks that much, maybe it's worth the extra.

It was acting slow and giving me problems navigating in programs. Friday morning when I sat down with my large coffee and turned it on I could not open my programs. I ran virus checks and still nothing. I took it to Best Buy and the Geek squad checked it out and told me that the hard drive was going and I had a corrupted operating system . I considered getting it repaired for $250+ and decided to get a new one. I was not happy because I really did not want to go to Windows 8 and just the work in setting up a new computer is a pain. Most of Friday I spent shopping and got a nice Lenovo laptop So at 7:00 pm last night I plugged in in and started to figure things out my first priority was to get my data from my back up loaded. I have been using a daily backup on an external hard drive and successfully loaded my files especially my genealogy files that I have invested countless days creating.
