I am 73 years old, and I just recently got an Samsung, and a Ipad along with my Kindle. I am using the computer less and less now. But I will always have a computer no matter what OS release is available.
Before I install W8 I took the time to read about it on the net. All of it's changes and solutions were read about. Now you can't tell it apart from W7 or as a matter of fact from even my old Vista. I can't tell you the last time I was on the Modern side of the OS.
One can fight changes or one can learn how to use them. I repeat the future is touch.
Sixty-nine this month - and I use only a LT, cell, and Kindle - all the new "life in a box' doesn't interest me. More stuff to maintain, repair, and replace.
It's not only the 'Look' or the way Wdw8 operates, but it keeps changing my 'stuff' coming in on the web, and so no matter what I do, accept it or not accept it as an OS, that means I still have to buy the new programs - and then, what happens when I send it out? I send it out in the new format and EVERY one of my clients has to buy the new programs too... OR, I have to make it work in a manner that they can read, which is extra steps and conversion, and then I need to know what each one has before I send it. A nightmare!
SO, no matter how acceptable one might be to change individually, I can't require every client to bend to my new OS - that's absurd.
This is the first time that my programs did not load or function in a transition to a new Laptop (some modification required, yes, but it eventually worked) ... that's a pretty major difference.
