You are ignoring the fact that many of us are successfully using Windows 8.1. Not getting the operating system up and running is obviously a result of your lack of knowledge and persistence. There is actually no reason why you should like Windows 8 because as you have stated you have alternatives; however, in this time of technical change and innovation, you're not going to get very far, if you make such quick snap judgments of complex systems and processes.

Absolutely nothing. What i'm still trying to tell you is that we couldn't even get the os to even work. The computer kept locking up during instalation, and we never got it going. If the os refused to work, i just had a big paperweight on my desk. I'm sorry, but i must maintain my original premis. I am going to a Mac mini which has it's own screen reader. Sounds much better to me. As i said, i'm not at all afraid of learning curves, but i cannot learn anything on an os which doesn't. If you windows 8 folks wanna commit computer suicide, go the hell ahead. -- The other problem, is, evenif i had success with windows 8, there is no tutorial on learning it, so it's a losing proposition no matter what. You think it'swonderful? Well, i say it's certainly not. I couldn't even do the usual things with it. At least voiceover works. l, i am proud to have been a member of the mich8igan school for the blind from 1973 to 1979, hail to the raiders, may your memory live forever.
