Burlmart: I'd like to stay there too, XP was my favorite - but my LT gave up its ghost and I had to buy another one. The cost of repair was more than half, but if I'd have known, I'd have paid it. And now I will -
Yeah, I like and use MS software too - and did this once before several years ago, and bought the programs a second time then. If I bought the programs again this time, that will be THREE TIMES, it would double the cost of the laptop - and so I'm passing and will fix the Dell and keep my Wdw7, try it on this one.
In fact, it's not even always about the money, the cost, it's the forcing to buy new programs I bought once (twice!) and the hiding of the operation icons. And, trying once again to figure out how everything works, and each time, some other 'piece' pops up. It's supposed to be simple - it's not (maybe to some). That's bizarre to me - but no one commented on that - which is strange, still don't know why the designer hides it. Puzzling to say the least.
ON EDIT: If I actually liked the Wdw8, would probably just buy the new programs and eat it. But disliking the OS AND buying the new programs - well, that's just not a winner in my book ... M44
