Windows 8 - not for me thanks
I have trialed both versions of W8 - I do not like either. Its not easy to understand , far from intuitive , in many cases close to unworkable , requires upgrades to hardware and software which equals new significant cost and training - neither of which business can afford and worst of all there is no practical benefit for all this change. In essence an XP system with Office 2007 will provide almost the same business functionality for several years to come and I just do not buy the emotive and marketing nonsense being pushed out by tech writers spruiking the so called benefits of W7 let alone W8 - neither are absolutely necessary or compelling other than Microsoft trying to convince the market masses otherwise. The ONLY winner in this strategy is the financial bottom line for Microsoft. As far as technological advances are concerned W8 is in my opinion Vista Mark 2 and most users will find it hard to adjust and costly. Good luck to Microsoft but they have just about convinced me to defect to Apple as I am sick to death of them ignoring what I want out of an O/S.
