complaining about the 8 you choose to keep?
I would go back to XP if they had not told me the computer could not handle it. I remember a lot of updates screwing up the system and I do not want to have to fix this one also. I bought the computer and 8 came with it. I had no choice. No one has said that they really like 8.1, they hint that they tolerate it better than 8.0.
Lot’s of us say we like 8.1.
I went straight from XP to 8.1 and have no complaints, I like it better.
