Ah, ok. Well, best of luck. I'm skipping 8.x entirely, as I hate the UI (though the underlying OS is fine), but it appears that Win10 may address the most serious and egregious errors of 8.x (I'm playing with the Technical Preview). I'll probably transition from 7 to 10 a few years from now when it stabilizes.
> I didnt take that as a warning to people to upgrade off of XP to win7 or win8.1. If that was your intention Im sorry I couldnt see that in your point. Either my bias or your bias got in the way...probably a bit of both :-)
Heh, probably so. No apology necessary, apparently just a misunderstanding. Thank you for taking my good-natured jabs in the light spirit in which they were intended. :)
Just get start8. You’re missing out on a lot of great stuff. And for no real good reason... You can completely make it look like win 7.
