my old laptop gave up the ghost last night so today I bought a new one with windows 8 on it and only been playing with it for half an hour and so far so good, I quite like it

But I can see why some don't as its a totally different setup and you need to work out how to do things that where easy.

I personally think it gets too much hate because people do not like change and struggle to work it out.

thumbs up from me thus far
