[QUOTE="Dave_W, post: 86019, member: 9521"] Well, I got my email from Microsoft this morning with the link to download and install the new Windows 8 OS. Because I bought my current desktop just days after the cut-off, I was one of the many people who qualify for a $14.95 version of the software. But....I've yet to read an article that is not bashing the new OS and from what I've seen so far is that the OS is primarily a touch-screen OS and those of us with such old fashioned devices like a mouse may not like it so much. And then there's the issue of all my current software programs. Do I have to re-install them all over again? And how many of my current programs I use everyday, like LR and PS, will work in Windows 8? I realize most people are Mac based here (as I was most of my life) but I'm hoping there's a few PC users who are also considering Windows 8. Whaddya think? Should I go for it or stick with Windows 7? [/QUOTE]
