Why change to 8 when 7 does the trick R. Erasmus20-Jul-14 21:02 R. Erasmus 20-Jul-14 21:02  I got win7 and it works for me. I don't see any reason why I should change to win8. If a big hype is made about win9 and everyone loves it, then only will I get it. But none was made about win8.

Erasmus22-Jul-14 20:57 R. Erasmus 22-Jul-14 20:57  From the criticism against win8.x it seems to me that I would be reverting back to horse riding once I move over. I'm fairly happy in my car thank you!

I work in a financial institution - super conservative with their OS. I bought my last home system just as 8 came out and it has not worn out yet. I suppose I will have to get one some time but I figure to hold out for W9, I managed to duck Vista so I'm on a roll here.

It is gonna skew their results though. In this vital piece of research. Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

Few months back me and my friend had same confusion about windows 2008 and windows 2008 R2, So the main question remain unanswered, How efficiently we deal with Windows ? Do we really use/take advantage of each functionality present in windows ? I have seen many peoples installed Windows server 2008 on their laptop and use it for multimedia purpose, playing songs, videos It makes me think...

DJ van Wyk20-Jul-14 22:11 DJ van Wyk 20-Jul-14 22:11  Knowing the difference ... maybe not. The user experience difference much more. Since upgrading from 8 to 8.1 most of my metro apps stopped working, including the store itself. This is more than annoyance. I tried resetting the store, resintalling stuff, clearing caches and download folders. Nothing seems to work. Microsofts response : reinstall Windows, which will cause you to lose all applications and downloaded content, but keep your documents. The documents are the least of my problems. The downloaded and installed 1,5Tb of applications poses a much more serious concern. To top it off, I downloaded (through Windows update) a new hotfix over the weekend, hoping it would resolve some of these issues. It turns out that I can't open ANY metro apps anymore. Even Minesweeper is bombing out now (pun intended). I really don't want to go through a reinstall again after just 2 months. My plan is to live forever ... so far so good Re: Do we really knows the difference between win8 and win8.1 ?
