I wanted to buy a photo editing software (Darkroom ...) and couldn't because I was on XP and not Windows 8. Annoyed that they change all the time! Good luck with your computer project!

The m...According to DH (my resident computer geek!) The main difference between Windows 7 and Windows 8 is that 8 supports touch screens. If you don't have a touch screen there isn't much point having Windows 8. One of DH's colleagues (also in IT) removed Windows 8 and went back to Windows 7 on his laptop.<br /><br />Good luck with your choice.Miriamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03831644517557759507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222786315881803285.post-71876582227065905342013-06-13T19:27:19.602+10:002013-06-13T19:27:19.602+10:00Hi Chooky, I have a 2 week old new notebook, they ...Hi Chooky, I have a 2 week old new notebook, they all come with windows 8 now or so it seemed from looking at them.

I hate change but have got my head around it but I by no means use it to its full potential. If I was to buy again I think I would stick with Windows 7.Sharon - Lilabelle Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17057515833969118954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222786315881803285.post-11780793057235415002013-06-13T18:01:32.737+10:002013-06-13T18:01:32.737+10:00I got a new laptop in the new year and it had wind...I got a new laptop in the new year and it had windows 8. I absolutely hated it! It is not intuitive at all. I understand it was designed for touchscreens so if you get one of those you might be fine. A friend who works in IT says it has been a bit of a flop, a bit like Vista which was also rubbish. I have recently had my laptop converted to windows 7, which is like XP(which was very popular). Good luck with whatever you go with!
