And I'll be staying with 7 till 9 comes out.

I tend to tick and miss the tock for OS's. This one will be no different.

pfft.

That about sums it up.

:whistle:

The computer technician in me is crying right now. I am not going to be happy the first time I see a Windows 8 problem computer at work.

Yup. Can't find a solution? REFORMAT.

Not sure how any harder this could be.

Anyway, it's going to be a while before you see one at work, might see a lot more in the family circle tho..

Unless there's a very interesting transformer-like Windows 8 x86-64 tablet, I'll skip it too.

It's the fact that I haven't poked around Windows 8 yet besides the very short 15 minute run I had when the release preview came out, which drove me so far away from wanting to learn it. I'm going to have to learn it though, or else nobody in the store is going to know how to work with it.

I practically run everything computer wise for my relatives, they're not even allowed to know Windows 8 exists :whistle:

Should have held off until Dec 21, 2012, you know, the end of the world as we know it......lol

The company i work for (well contracted to through another company I'm contracted to) is an early adopter of this... 2000 pc's with this on and I'll be one of them.. :*(
