Hi,

Sorry Fred–all the info re W8 has passed me by. I tried the pre-release version and was not impressed, the system appears to be aimed solely at the touchscreen brigade [pass the marmalade].

So, forgive me if I stick to my old fashioned desktops running W7. I think that once the euphoria has worn off, it will become apparent that W8=another Vista.

Regards oldwhatsit :huh:

I wish I had read Woodys article on W. 8 before I downloaded the iso and burned a disc [got to be similar to Linux?]. Similar it aint, took about 5 minutes to discover that I didnt like it—–the look and the handling just didnt appeal. Then I found a bug, the power off button would only “Restart”, and the cursed W. 8 could not be deleted [not like a Linux iso]. Yes I should have done all the thingies and such like — partitions and sandboxing etc, but I didn’t.

Had to do a re-install to get rid. Think that this download should carry a warning—–“Not suitable for the elderly or people of a nervous disposition”
