Thane,
I may have to admit guilt for this. We had many conversations about how
long MS may
continue to support Win7; and, how soon MS launched W8 and W8.1. I still
do not know, or,
understand the breadth of the issue. Both of us decided it had to do
with 'Tablets.' Sadly he does
own a Tablet (?an Apple IPAD?), an Apple 'Smartphone' and a Kindle 'Reader.'
I shared with him that W7pro/64 installed very easily over my goofed up
w8.1/plain vanilla attempt.
And, he did have W7pro/64 to upgrade to. He kept railing at me wearing
his MBA hat telling me
me he just could not accept what MS was doing to Commercial/Industrial
folks that had thousands of
desktops to plan an upgrade to "?What?" I begged off and said, "I just
do not know!" I was focused on
OB's homedesktop PC--ONLY. In the end, he bought W8.1pro/64, and,
decided that was where he would go
based on his own personal research; which seems to be some favorite
websites, his USMA Alumni forum,
and me (because of our Collective!)......................... ;) (see my
earlier queries.)
I did have himfocused on Win7pro/64 some months back, but, he blew that
off for Win8.1pro/64. I just
said "Fine." I now believe my OB is an "ApplicationSW WONK!" JMHO.

Fred,
Sorry. His OS will be Win8.1 PRO-64bit.
Any reason why he isn't going with Windows 7?
