<DIV>Its interesting nobody is keen to touch Windows 8... I have only
played around with it some, and once I found where they moved things to found it
quite fine...eg on the Metro screen there is no search box – you just start
typing, and the search is very good. eg type “Resolution” and it
shows how many documents, how many settings (etc etc) match that word.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Its getting pretty hard to find a PC without Windows 8 on it these days –
so:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>is there any real technical reason not use use Windows 8, ie why its worth
the bother of putting on Windows 7 which is excellent. Is there some
manner (apart from unfamiliarity or aesthetics) in which Windows 8 is
technically inferior to Windows 7?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I saw one Windows 8 PC, I7 processor, 256GB SSD and 1TB Hard Disk which
booted from cold to Windows 8 login prompt in 7 seconds. Like that
kind of speed.:</DIV>
