I agree about using Windows 7 if and when you upgrade. I hope to be able to do that at work and know we will stay with Windows 7 at home for the foreseeable future.
My parents, who are sighted, have had nothing but trouble with Windows 8 and I would classify them as high beginners to low intermediate in terms of skill on the computer. The above tells me that it's not just our community that has had difficulty with Windows 8, but that the feeling is mutual across the user community. My husband has said that Microsoft usually comes out with a good version about every other release and the pattern is being true to form here as XP was a good release, VISTA not good, Windows 7 good and Windows 8 not good. Wittness the fact that Microsoft has had to come out with Windows 8.1 to address major issues with Windows 8. Thanks.
