Funny. I switched all my machines to Win8 and its worked great. The only issue I've had is with an ancient Dell printer/scanner/fax. But even that works in compatibility mode.

But I do use it in conjunction with Windows Server 2012, so maybe that's helping things. -PG — Sent from Mailbox for iPhone On Sun, May 5, 2013 at 2:03 PM, Sam <[email protected]> wrote: > People have good reason to hate windows 8.
