How kind of you...

Initially I was alright with windows 8, very quick and snappy feeling for browsing the web. But on every task I attempted that wasn't just "browsing the web" I felt it to be extremely cumbersome and not intuitive at all. Many simple tasks [looking though a group of pictures on a memory card] worked in very bizarre ways and eat up way more of my time than on an older OS. I'll be holding out for my normal purchase of every-other Microsoft OS.

I'd sooner have a spinal tap and a kidney stone on the same day then use windows 8 . I love how Microsoft rearranges everything so you cant navigate squat all over again . I guess they think it will seem new if everything is hidden in new locations .
I'm quite sure they have a double agent from Apple working in there R&D department . He's doing a great job of making people jump ship to apple
