Ive ran the beta window10 in a vm on my window 7 laptop.. it good.. very good.. and it is free to window 7 and 8 users...so download it and VirtualBox.. also free and try it out.. fyi.. you should learn how to do vm (virtual machines) anyway

.so download it and VirtualBox.

Why should the average user have to go through that crap? No one wants to roll the dice just to find out it sucks, and they do not want to play computer geek for days to learn about VM. I had to do that for a while to run some Win98 stuff and it was a PITA that luckily a geek set up for me.

I have been working with computers since before FORTRAN 77 came out. 40 years or so off and on. I hate it every time they come out and some brainiac kid programer says this is great follow me. So now after being harassed by this stupid touch screen 8 that works poorly on a real computer I am expected to start all over and learn something new again , again, again,... Windows 8 will not even find 8.1 because it can't find the “store” so how is it ever going to find a new system?
