    I was attempting to reply to another post way above yours. Why would you think I was replying to you anyways? At least you didn't vote for Obama.

    Unless it improves anything from 3D game performance to multimedia transcoding, this OS will be ignored.

    Websites will run better, yippee..

    Wow. 0 for 2. I run an Intel Pentium D and I did not vote for Obama. Anything else?

    My bad. I thought you were referencing my comment about the 2.8 Ghz processor. I'd been dealing with someone badmouthing my comments on a different forum and was a bit frustrated right then. My apologies...

    I can't agree more with your comment and I like change. I bought the Windows 8 upgrade and tried it on my laptop... Epic fail I lose hardware functionality I get an Ugly screen, I have to look up every activity that I want to do. I don't have the time or the interest to dedicate myself to using an OS that was not designed for my PC. I also have to say if you want a tablet with a paying Eco system, by a Nexus ten that's not got a half assed confused os on it and is not under powered.

    I agree with this. What really bothered me with Windows 8 is how often I felt trapped in a screen. I press Backspace, Escape, Left Arrow, Right-click hoping to get out and not finding the way to do so. I'm sure if I give it time I'll learn, but at the moment in Windows 7 I'm happy and there's no frustration. Necessity dictates when I switch to a new OS, and there's nothing that requires me to switch to Windows 8. I'll wait for Windows 9 then.
