Is there an app to turn it into XP?

I run 8.1 with every application turned off and Classic Shell so it looks like Windows XP. AFAIC the applications section was a waste of space.

This looks a lot more complex than “which {whatever program}”. Linux FTW.

I got my first look at Win 8 last night.
My granddaughter got a Toshiba laptop for Christmas and I was trying to determine whether it had an anti-virus before she connected online.
She had, and eventually I was able to find Norton’s pre-installed.

But I’m not sure Win 8 is running correctly.
It keep jumping to screens, jumping back to previous screen..
I suppose it can eventually be mastered but, it’s most frustrating mess I think I’ve ever seen.

Before I saw Nortons I managed to get to AVG and download (I thought) the program.
When I went to find it, ‘Download’ folder shows ‘empty’.

I’m gonna see if I can turn on Classic or some other option.

All I can say is... Thank goodness I have Macs.
