It wasn't a cheap deal, I paid quite a bit for Win 8. Thankfully I got a full refund. And why is choosing something I like the exact opposite of smart? Or are you simply saying that because I disagree with you I am stupid?
I don't like your derogatory attitude towards anyone who disagrees with you, Damian. I'm a consumer, I buy what I want to buy and I don't buy things I don't like. I did not like Win 8, so I chose to stay with Win 7. If Win 8.1 or some later update makes the new OS into something more compatible and suitable for me then I'll take another look at it. As Win 8 sits today, it's not for me.
How old are you? Maybe you are just young and immature, I could excuse you if that was the case....
Thanks a bunch Lukas, 8.1 does sound like they are addressing a lot of the problems. I'll wait and see if they also address the backwards compatibility issues, if they do then I may just take another chance with Win 8.
See Damian, Lukas made a very nice and constructive post and just might have convinced me to give 8 another shot, and he never called me stupid while doing it.
