I "upgraded" to Windows 8! As an early adopter, I thought I was pretty savvy to jump on the bandwagon, HOWEVER, I find that Windows 8 is not exactly an advancement, nor a better choice! Beware, if you have not upgraded. First, you lose the Start button, which can be remedied (I found a neat little program that gave me one.) Most recently I tried to play a DVD movie, and to my surprise, Media Player will not play it anymore! After doing some probing, I find that Microsoft decided to render dvd playing useless in Windows 8 and make it available only if one wishes to pay MORE for the "pro" version. Unbelieveable!
(Okay, I did download a free player from another source, but still...what about those people who do not know how/where to do that--the vast majority, I suspect.)
