Do any of you guys use Windows 8? I am looking at buying a new laptop and have never used Windows 8. I was wondering if you guys would recommend it.

Do any of you guys use Windows 8? I am looking at buying a new laptop and have never used Windows 8. I was wondering if you guys would recommend it.

I do, it's designed for touch screen type laptops and tablets so if you aren't getting something that supports touch you lose a bit of the functionality.

It's pretty simple to use and being able to switch to a traditional desktop is nice as well.

I like windows 7 better...

You can use free software to add the traditional Start button back. I work in IT on and off for bout 10 years. It does take a little getting use to but not real bad. Windows 10 is coming out soon too. Yes they are skipping 9 and going straight to 10 (at least that's the last I heard). Microsoft wants to make a run at Apple OS, they are also bringing back the start button. All in all Windows 8 was a failure, because they based the whole OS off a tablet/touch environment. Another thing is hardly any companies use it, for various reasons. There are pros and cons, just like anything else.

Thanks for the input on Windows 8 guys. I currently use Windows 7 at work and really like it so I might see if I can find a laptop that runs 7. If not I guess I'll try and do what Mark mentioned on Windows 8 and add the start button. Thanks again

I did something creative for my friend this year for Christmas.

She lost her grandmother 2 years ago. She was raised by her and so what i did was took a picture of her grandmother(i snuck it off her home screen from her computer) i took the pic up to this guy who airbrushes shirts and got him to airbrush her picture on a shirt

He also air brushed some clouds on to portray that she is in heaven.

GRANDMOTHER

WE MISS YOU SO MUCH

and on 5 of the clouds it has her kids name and her name.

Plus she is a Cowboys fan and I got her some Dallas cowboys stuff

Im so creative huh.
