    If they can artistically paint a gun, they can do a computer.



    you know this how... ;)

    does not matter larry will never know since the last thing he will see is his bloody red heart in the ginger's hand as she crushes it.

    I don't know Scarlett's natural hair color. She don't really "do it" for me.

    Don't really have a dollar amount.
    If I go with the hybrid, aren't I then stuck with win 8? I hate learning a new OS every time I get a new computer. And I'm not a fan of touchscreen computers.
    :xmad:
    There isn't really that much to learn. Most of the new stuff you can ignore if you want to. Up to you though.

    tell him he wants an APPLE or just wait until next year for windows 9.
    It's the day AFTER XP was to die and the world did not end.
    I do not understand all the angst for Windows 8. For a regular user there just isn't that much difference.

    I really like the ability to have the start menu search for a program when I start typing its name.

    It was/is the initial shock that windows changed p-e-r-i-o-d.
    Someone already said it but WIN 8 on a touchscreen device is ggrreeeaaattt!
    It works nicely on that type of system. Problem for the majority of users is we got introduced to WIN 8 on a NON touchscreen device and that initial introduction left a very bad taste in our mouth. It was our first date and it went badly and now you expect me to go out again with that 'bad date' when our current love (WIN XP) we know, love at times, hate at other time. But at least we know XP.

    MS messed up the introduction that is all. They should of had 2 ways to introduce us to WIN 8. The way they did it for just touchscreen and via going directly to the desktop for everyone else.

    Dig deeper and for the techies it's also the 'hid everything' approach MS took along with new UEFI replacement of the BIOS.

    I agree MS dumbed it down, hiding everything. My wife has a win8 touchscreen and I still think it sucks.

    At least on phones there is a toolbar or something you pull across the screen to display a hidden menu. Win8 you just have to know what special part of the screen to touch to get something done. Windows key+R. The background is the same, the UI is the worst.
