I think that once I get my new PC loaded up and running, I may download Win-8 and install it on the old one. That is, if I can still get it for $40 from MS.
I might enjoy playing with it to see what it can do, but I don’t want it on my active machine.
I’m running Win 8 on this PC and it’s OK. The start menu...rather than being a pop-up menu is a full screen.
Getting the start menu to look the way I want has been tedious, but now that it is what I want I don’t hate Win 8. It uses fewer system resources than Win 7 and my total CPU usage is substantially lower with Win 8. Overall I’m not hating on it, but I’m not lovin’ it either. Essentially neutral. And for $40 it is acceptable.
