Windows 8 interface has disappointed me so much that I abandoned the PC world and went Mac....
Is there anyone else ?
Rather drastic and expensive when you could have loaded this free tool
http://www.iobit.com/iobitstartmenu8.php which would have given you everything you were used to with Windows XP, Vista (Yuk) or Windows 7, combined with the advantages of what Windows 8 offers if you did decide to eventually use it.
BTW: Information coming out of the Apple is that Apple is to start moving to an iPad style system for their MAC computers, so you will end up with a similar interface to Windows 8, (Primarily designed for touch screen interfaces) in the future anyway.

Hi Bill
I was just upset that I had to re-learn an operating system that I have been using since Win95.....Call it old age maybe :-) I installed Win8 on my wife's laptop and when it was complete, I was totally lost. I had to go to you tube to find out how to do 99.9% of what ever I was trying to do.
I know about the free tool but I am too stubborn to use it. Maybe Win8 was too drastic of a change for me..
I have now a MacBook Air ( 256 Gig SSD HD) and it is incredibly fast. The learning curve was very minimal and so far I am very happy with it. The only weakness for me , is finding a decent newsreader ( I use the "news Groups" extensively for all my resources )
I am not saying that Mac's are better then PC'S...They both have their strengths and weaknesses ...In this moment, I am quite happy with the mac.
