I know that we humans are reluctant to change but I still have problems understanding all the gripes about Win 8. I changed at work and left the old machine running on the desk in case there were issues. After 1 day I never logged back into the old machine. I'm not a youngster at 57 and I thought the change seemed pretty logical. I guess if you never used a touch screen smart phone and don't use a computer frequently it would seem more challenging.
Touch is here to stay so I guess I feel like you may as well embrace it or get left behind.
