try typing a paper on a touch screen for college or writing reports. it
won't work and will frustrate you because typing on touch screen is slow.

I agree josh, I had to do for a customer a general cleanout of windows
and update and install of some major systems.
I also had to run a couple clearout programs which I did overnight.
I did not like win8, and while I was able with a bit of help get win
8.1 up, I worked through the night to get the system ready for a
morning pickup,, because although I could have kept it for a wek or 2
win 8 really didn't settle with me and I wanted to get it out of the
door asap!
My cousin has had issues with his net and whenever that happens, and
he can not log in he has no system access till he can get the
networking which is why I really don't like the idea of an net account
as my primary login without a fallback.
that and the fact that after all the stories on us cert, about nas
storage hacks, ssl3 hacks and online cloud hacks that I could be
online unnecessarily.
On this 7 box while I am online, I don't need to login to be online,
in fact I can be offline full stop!
if I do get this win8 or 10 or whatever I get next, then when I make
the system go I will make sure that I turn off my router before
installing for the first time.
It seems the easiest way to get round making an ms account.
i also don't like all my info just sitting there for any person to
access and me not being in control.
in 7 at least I can shut everything off delete all ms live files and
say I don't want to be online.
When I do all my payed work and other things, no drop box, no bt sync,
no messenger no mail, nothing, when my nose hits that grindstone I
don't want distractions at all!
And that will include live tiles, its probable that I will end up with
something like classic shell with win7 or xp start menu loaded and
whatever classic adjustments I can get with a local account though I
will be missing out on a lot of store features and metro apps its not
like I hav needed them up to now, and I have used a desktop for the
last 20 years this way though I can see the potentual for the newer
people that start its the same with the iphone, etc, I have never used
a tablet so don't know what I am missing,. and since I have inherited
another phone as long as I can spend the large load of cash on talks
its probably what I will end up doing though I have used a tablet once
and can see why people like it.
Its all what you grow up with and I am sure if i was born now, that
I'd think the keyboard a bunch of crap and that I like touch, however
I was round when it was all keyboards and touch devices are as forign
to me as aliens and I have no need to actually use one right now,
maybe that will change.

I don't or i should say I did not like windows8.1 at all when I had
it on this computer, because it would not run my windows xp virtual
machine at all. it ran but audio was slow and it was buggy as ever.
audio was so choppy it was completely unuseable. so I went back to
windows7. now everything works better. microsoft better listen to
their customers or I'll switch over to ubuntu linux and run windows
xp in a vm on there.

well I don't think they can just stop producing 7 just like that,
all the boxes we have are on 7, and while there is a market for it
pc manufacturers will still release drivers till at least support
for updates ends.
thats not for another 5 years.
Even if ms stops drivver library support most drivers for ms are
generic ones anyway.
As well as this because of the 8x disaster ms really needs to make
sure that their new os works this time, right now it looks ok but
there is always a chance to wreck it later.
To be honest if xp didn't drop outside support I'd continue using it
and now it appears they are trying to make vertuals with xp not work
in 8 and up put it this way I have no desire to even think of
upgrading.

Hi josh sir!
but what you will do after January?
because now microsoft will not provide drivers and other things.
The company want to end the technical support.
Thanks
