So things have gotten a little better with Windows 8. It is interesting though, everyone I have asked about this new computer OS is NOT a fan.
We are all such creatures of habit and Windows 8 is very different. But like with anything, practice makes perfect!

So I knew the time was coming I would eventually have to invest in a Windows computer. Who wouldn't be excited to get a brand new up-to-date computer, right? Sorry to be Debbie Downer, but me.
15+ years of being a happy content user of my Mac, I just don't need anything else...except Microsoft Access that is! So the day has come. I am off to Best Buy only to find out how much Microsoft is going to add on for my "cheap" laptop.
After paying for Microsoft Office again (I have the Mac version), anti-virus software and taxes, it almost doubled the HP purchase price. And to top it all off, I was thinking I would at least be able to use this 17" laptop to watch movies. But apparently I would have to purchase the Windows 8 Pro upgrade to get the DVD video playback for an additional $70. I can't even watch a movie out of the box on this thing??
I haven't even tried the new Windows 8 operating system yet, but I didn't really see any good reviews either. Maybe I have just been spoiled with my Mac. Or maybe I was expecting too much. Does anyone else have any experience with this new OS?
