I got Windows 8 in my new laptop. And it not as easy as they say it would be I have trouble with it consuming in so small that I can't read. But and I can't figure out how to get back out worries reasonable summertime. But overall it's a lot of fun. Do you have any experience with Windows ages in the same way? If so how to use all the problem?

I dont know why they keep turning out new windows, i just got used to 7.... oh wait i do know, they are money hungry and people seem to love new technology until they get it home and cant figure out how to use it ;)
-
most of the reviews I have read have not been positive on windows 8 I am in no hurry at all to upgrade lol
-
I am enjoying Windows 8, but I have not had the problems :BangHead: :dontknow: you are talking about. I have some hand and wrist issues, so the touch screen really helps me.
-
we're using windows 8 now so far its pretty cool. its kinda like your using tablet or smart phone..
-
So if you have Windows 8 on your computer, do you need a touch screen to use it? Or can you just point and click with the desktop apps? I played with one at a store and thought it was kinda cool, but I wouldn't want finger-smudge marks on my monitor.

I have windows 8 on my new laptop and have not had any problems. It just takes some time to get use to the new features and where things are.

I don't think I'll like windows 8. I don't want to have to be touching my screen. I like using a mouse and keyboard. I have a tablet to use when I want to touch the screen.

I am using Windows 8 and I'm finally warming up to it, but only because it's been so customized that I don't ever have to go to the Start screen and I've got Classic Shell installed for the start menu back. Basically, it looks like Windows 7. There is the odd time still I'll open a file and I see it's about to launch a Windows 8 App :BangHead: Let's hope that Microsoft takes notice of all the bad experiences and makes a more PC-friendly version.

I have an all in one desktop computer(no tower) with Windows 8 and mine is not touchscreen. Perhaps it would be nice to touch the apps on my 23' screen, but it wasn't worth the extra 200 bucks to me. I am not a fan of Windows 8 and if I don't warm up to it soon I will be removing it and installing Windows 7.

I love my Windows 7 so I am in no rush to get Windows 8
-
I customize each new Windows OS such that it operates as closely as possible to Windows Classic.

I had dealt with Windows XP, Windows 2000, and it took me a while to get used to Windows 7. I am looking forward to seeing what Windows 8 offers in the way of change. Sometimes change can be good. :star: :star: :star: :star: :star:

I just received my new laptop with windows 8 and I must say with the apps and things it is a bit experiencing but also very nice. I love it with the ease of not having to do the things you do with windows xp. At first I thought it was challenging until I just sat down and became one with my laptop and windows 8. It is a great windows version and my 9 yr old son loves it also. He thinks the apps are better to work with. :thumbsup: :heart: :thumbsup:

i have not had the pleasure of using windows8 but it is definitely on my to do list in near future i have not heard good or bad things about windows 8 until i read these comments but i am sure i will still get it on my computer just to know for myself i figure if i learned 7 i can def learn 8 :)

I love my windows 7 and I am in no hurry to switch to windows 8.

I :heart: :heart: :heart: the Windows 8. In answer to the earlier question you do not have to use the touchscreen, you can use your keyboard and a mouse. The Start page, you can use the new touchscreen version with you mouse if you want or with one click you have it look like the Windows 7 start page. You can have more than one window open on your screen at the same time. I am having a lot of fun with it.

I still have a desktop with Windows XP, My laptop has Windows 7. I have only had my Laptop for two years. I don't have the tendency to quickly update or buy new products. I have been in IT (since IT was a field) and in Communications before that working with main frames! I like to see the reviews and test the product before buying. Working for the Government. I guess this is a plus because they buy in bulk and are very leary to buy a new Operating System. The government never even bought into Windows Vista and that was a good thing because it was a piece of garbage Operating System.

I updated to Windows 8 on my laptop. It is a whole new learning experience. I'm not sure I see how it is better than windows 7 except the finger screen benefit. On my laptop I don't have that capability - so I'm still typing :-
-
I have not had a chance to experience Windows 8, however I am in the process upgrading my computer now and I just hope that Windows 8 is user friendly.

Ugh, I hate Windows 8 with extreme prejudice on desktop/laptop. I don't understand why Microsoft would put a tablet based OS on there :BangHead: . I can understand if I have a touch screen desktop/laptop and a tablet, but other than that it's horrendous :bs: . The biggest thing I can't stand is that it doesn't have the start button in desktop mode, I have to use a third party software to automatically skip the metro menu and start on desktop mode with a start button (I heard there was some tweaks you can do that skips metro menu with a start button with organized menu, w/o third party program but apparently Microsoft keeps stomping out the tweaks in Windows 8). There also an annoyance of having the accursed metro menu pop up when you scroll over to the right hand side of the screen. All in all I was trying to make my Windows 8 look and feel like Windows 7, since I feel that the UI of Windows 7 was superior than Windows 8 in terms of regular desktop/laptop

Well, I've got some bad news for Windows XP users (because there are many more of us out there than you think). Come April 8, 2014, Win XP will be obsolete - no more updates, security or otherwise.
I'm looking forward to a completely new computer, anyway, and of course, I'm looking towards Windows 8.
