From what I can tell windows 8 is really quite good for phones and tablets (which is the biggest market these days) but with proper computers windows 7 does the job far better my last 5 computers have used win 7 ultimate although I am considering a return to Linux for my next build.Originally Posted by Mom

I just got a new laptop with 7 loaded and 8 lisence ... after a bit of research...7 stays
Loaded 2013 office and Fark what a cock up, emails didn't come through with codes, didn't load properly... sorted it in the end but loading everything on the new laptop from the old dying one has blown far far to many hours
Had to be done... nearly there now
The wife has 8 on the little envy Tablet/ laptop and I never look forward to the "what do I do here" Questions...

I discovered the only way to close applications was to use the task manager. How stupid is that. This old guy is using his phone to connect to the internet, he does not have a wonderful amount of data, IE just keeps running in the background despite him not requiring the internet to play spiderYou also have to trust Windows 8 to close applications at the right time....or you can go into desktop and close the stuff you've finished with from task manager.
Speech recognition is good, but you have to launch the apps from the desktop taskbar or it won't work (windows quality software huh?).

I can see it on a touch screen, but a lap top? Ridiculous!

I've been using Windows 8 no a notebook for maybe 6 months now.
Absolutely hate it. Next time I re-image my machine I think I'll go back to Windows 7.

I also hate it.
No start button sucks.
It took me forever to even find out how to shutdown properly. Not intuitive at all.

I sold my iPad to my daughter as I wanted USB and a touchpad which the iPad doesn't have. The new Asus 11" is a great wee laptop and I like it! I am getting used to Windows 8RT but it has some limitations that require getting around and searching for stuff that works well.
The only thing I now want is an e-reader that is as good as iBooks! I downloaded freda which is quite good but doesn't have the features of iBooks.

"This App can't run on your PC." I have had this issue with running Windows RT. It is not easy to find an app for it.
