I have a new laptop with Win8, I haven't decided if I like it or not. I found it not very efficient as I see myself clicking more times to o the same things that took me 1 click in Win 7 but I am giving it a chance.
I learned to use the Start feature from the keyboard and click on the Desktop, from there I browse internet like before with the back button and all.
I don't like the email version - App type so I have added my email to the Favorites so I can open it the old style.
I like though the touch screen when I am laying at night reading the board, I can easily move the screen with a touch.
I will subscribe to this thread to learn what others have learned.
