Had been planning on buying new Lenovo A520 with WIN-8 after the first of the year. However, all the complaints/bitching about WIN-8 have caused me no small amount of concern. My current PC is 9 years old and still works fine. A bit glitchy with graphics etc.

Read 4 pages of reviews on CNET and vast majority were negative. Some call it "VISTA redux." Absence of Start seems to anger many. Business people do not like it.

So guess I'm in a holding pattern for awhile. Plan on visiting Best Buy after kids go back to school next week and crowds dissipate. Perhaps I can get a better feel for WIN-8 in person, as opposed to Youtube...

Should mention I use WIN-XP-Home. Have had few problems with it. At my age I do not fear change for the better. Change for the worse? Yes, of course. Not saying WIN-8 is the turd in the punch bowl. Just saying many, many prospective buyers have concerns.
