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.
I am quite proficient at using computers, trouble shooting, and computer networking.
I refuse to pay date rates for Smartphones. I don't think it's very smart at all to have an $100.00 smart phone bill each month.
Windows 8 is a disaster public acceptance wise. It's not like MicroSoft has made mistakes in the past ? Is it?
If you run a business a $100 smart phone bill is a bargain for the freedom that it buys you. My smart phone gives me many extra hours with my family and allows my Dr. customers connect with me when they need to outside normal business hours. That translates into happy customers and money in my pocket.
Win 8 may be a disaster public acceptance wise but that doesn't mean that it is a bad system. Granted our office has only had Win 8 for about 45 days but we have yet to find a single issue nor have we had anyone who has expressed disgust with it. Matter of fact I have had two people that said that they decided to update their home systems because of their positive work experience. Go figure, embracing change.
