I had a user who just did not want to go with windows 8 at all. I did not tell her she was running windows 8. I left her alone for a few hours on her new windows 8 pc. I then came in after she had been working for a while and asked her how she liked her windows 8 computer. She was like what I am running windows 8? Yes I said let do some stuff on facebook. She was like ok I will go to the web site. I said no I set up the app. I got her in to it she used it and now she will never go back to windows 7 because there is no learning curve her system runs more stable and she loves the face book windows app. If you run old new explorer and classic shell you will not even know you are using windows 8.1. as far as the ui goes and you will get the advantages of windows 8.1.

I will check. I have an old vista laptop, but if I can find one with windows 7 in it, I may just go ahead and replace it.

Only issue I have are some focus issues but they are manageable for the most part. So if you can get a Windows 7 machine I would say buy it but I think the fear of Windows 8 has been over blown. > On 2/25/2015 2:27 PM, David via Talk wrote: > Well, for your information, Windows 9 simply does not work at all. > Reason?
