I've been using it for a month or so now on a new laptop and have grown to like it a lot. If you just consider the Start screen as an oversized Start menu and learn a few mouse actions and useful hot keys, it really gets pretty good. And it's been very stable and fast, with some features not found in other versions of Windows. The key is some patience and a determination to learn and give it a fair chance. :^)

I agree with you about Windows 8. I bought a new laptop about 1 month ago, and once I played around with Windows 8 a little bit, I am starting to like it more and more. I did purchase the Windows 8 for Dummies book, but have only needed it a couple of times so far. I made the jump from Windows Vista to Windows 8. If you wait too many years to upgrade your computer's operating system, you can get far behind in technology. I will hold on to my 5 year old laptop for a few more months, but then will have to find it a new home.
