Got the new computer yesterday....truly have to say for the first 30-60 minutes I was quite frustrated. I don't have a smart phone so have had very limited touch screen practice (my computer is not touch...didn't think I would use it....still don't). If you had asked me after 30 minutes, I would say I was getting rid of 8. After about an hour of stumbling around last night it started making more sense. I still think that I would probably have been better off with Windows 7.....but the desktop window on 8 is close enough to 7 that I will likely keep 8. I can see that some of the movements from screen to screen would be better with the touch screen. Who knows....with hind site maybe I would have gone with a touch screen.....certainly would have made using 8 on a laptop easier. Now that I have used it for a few hours....I don't think it is the kiss of death that some people think it is. Something that would have made it a LOT easier....somebody who had already used Windows 8 standing next to me.....would have saved me from using some very foul language and would have cut the confusion down to about 10 minutes.
