Maybe I might try it myself. I bought a really fancy state of the art laptop about a year ago. It came with 8.1. I hate 8.1 so much that I refuse to even turn the thing on. I have had it fired up exactly 4 times in the past year. And every time it became so frustrating trying to find things and figure out where anything it that I shut it off and push it aside.
Shame, I paid 1600 bucks for a paperweight. I still use my old laptop running XP. Rock solid and never skips a beat.
And I can find stuff on it. And I know how to access everything. 8.1? You can't pay me enough to try using it.
But I wonder what kind of GUI that 10 will have. Or what it will be modeled after..... Hopefully not 8
Get or ask someone you know to install a copy of Classic Shell on your 8.1 computer. It is a free program and it makes your 8.1 look like win 7. Then, when win 10 comes out you could load it if you want to. Just my opinion.
Yes you have a point there. The friend who sold me the laptop suggested it. I guess I got my shirt in a knot about 8.1 and didn't want to bother fiddling with it.
I can do all that stuff myself. I do all my own computer repairs and software stuff.
