finally caught on to Apple's approach to upgrading the OS.

 

WIndows 8 is suited more for touch interface and not desktop, it's gonna confuse the hell out of a lot of people!

I love IOS for mobile and touchscreen devices but for normal stuff I love my of with windows 7. I wish they would stop trying to make everything touch though. You can get touch screen monitors for your pc now but the mouse is much more efficient.

I'am using windows 8 at the moment for my laptop and although its quite annoying trying to find anything, I quite like it.

Its very quick to switch on and off and looks a bit nicer aswell.

Takes a bit of getting used to but everythimg is working well at the moment...
