Anyone else using win 8 ?
Not yet.
I'm in no hurry to use it. For whatever reason as it apparently gets easier for everyone else, I feel its getting harder!

I just picked up a new laptop with win 8 on it, it is driving me nuts.
i may simply install win7 or Linux on it instead.
Everybody i've ever talked to about win 8 says don't go there,it's crap.
My policy is to never be the "first kid on the block" with something new.
Wait a while until it is established, teething problems overcome and price drops.
Why pay big money to be a quality control officer? :dontknow:
But then, only go there if you are actually going forward. If what you have satisfactorily does all you need; then why change?
With software, a few months also gives a chance for 'hints and tips' type pages to appear to help shorten the learning curve. :good:

PS I use Picture Publisher V5.0 (August 31, 1994) for all my picture processing. It is long since obsolete but does all I want and I am very familiar with using it. So, why change?
I still use XP and love it. I have the Windows disk and have used it several times to reprogram. Replaced a couple of hard drives that died too. Clean up and start anew, Get rid of the junk that accumulates, speeds the old PC up. And I agree JeffH. If it aint broke why fix it. Took me long enough to learn to use what I have. Why change if it's not a big benefit. I saw your comment Trout on building them. But as you say driving one is a different thing.
To be technical best windows ever. Less bugs. Better memory usage. Great on a tab or phone. On a oc and laptop it sux. Would be better if you had an option for a traditional windows interface
I purchased a laptop with Windows 7 on it but Microsoft had a deal that allowed me to update to Windows 8 for $15.00
Once I start up I go back to my Windows 7 desktop so I have no problems.
W8 is a much better operating system and I am happy with it.
My PC still runs on Windows 7.
Windows 8 is apparently faster than previous versions, but there are a lot of people who hate it.
However, there is something you can do about it. Download "Classic shell" (it's free) and you can convert Windows 8 into a sort of 'clone' of Windows 7. There is a section where you can choose to disable corners, which removes the new Windows 8 desktop, and leaves you with what appears to be Windows 7.
My son is using it thanks to "Classic shell", and I will probably end up with it eventually.

Your blood is worth bottling Nancy :heart::give_heart::friends:
