I like windows 8 once I figured it out. A lot faster than XP.
You can delete all the tiles that you don't want.
I set my desktop with tiles only for programs that I use daily.
Like I use Outlook, Word, Excel, PE Designs. Now I have a tile for each. You just click on the tiles, it goes to that program, file, open, everything is there.
I does take a little time to figure out where to click on the sides to move back and forward.
And forget about updating any old computer with Windows 8, this is 64 bit and I don't think any older computer can run it as they are 32.
One problem, you really need newer software like PE Designs "Next" if you want the speed.
I love 2010 Word, Excel and outlook.
It's new, takes a few days and you will be moving on. Also, you can get a free ebook for dummies on line.
