When I went from Vista to Windows 7 I did not have much of a problem. Going from Windows 7 to Windows 8 I complaining like nuts. Now, I'm used to Windows 8 and I like it. At work we use Windows 7 and I still think Windows 7 is better. Regards, On Mar 20, 2014 12:57 PM, "DSinc" wrote: > I'll read

Thane/Bryan/Winterlight, Dang! All youare telling me is to ditch W7 and just use w8.1. I amalready thinking this way after 4 days with Win7pro. I recall a day when my boss at Xerox walked into my office and dropped Windows 3.1 on my desk, and, told me to load it and right a report on it!!! I had a
