I agree with many posters - win 8 is just another Vista.
Let's go a bit further back ..... Vista was a looser, Windows ME was a looser (we went back to NT4 because it was so buggy). I can't understand for the life of me why MS doesn't look at the outside world as a real place. There is no room in the world outside MS for Win8. It will flop and the smart among us will stay on Win7(or even XP would be better! )
If as a Desktop Engineer, I threw Win8 at the average file clerk and said "go for it", I would be looking for a new job. ANYONE who is computer challenged will fight this interface tooth and nail...... There is no place in the office for this product.....period.
