I don’t care for Win 8, but really like Win 7.

My wife prefers the Mac, hates Win 7 but thinks she might like a Win 8 computer.

Go figure.

Windows 8 Metro interface sucks donkey rocks and stinks on ice. Forcing a touch pad interface upon desktop users is unforgivable. I don’t personally know anyone yet who said they liked it. But I know several people who have come to me for help in installing a start button on their new Windows 8 machine.

Now that MS is trying to become Apple, they’re leaving the door cracked open for a well-supported Linux distro that understands the wants and needs of a desktop user.

RE: Nope! You couldn’t be more wrong here.

There is no “right” or “wrong” here, there are only preferences. If you don’t like it, be my guess, don’t buy it.

I know of several who do though. It took some getting use to as most new UI’s are, but once they got use to it, it becomes second nature.
