I'm going to wait until I can try it in a store on a DESKTOP. Windows 8 was probably never looked at by anyone over 30 or on any platform that wasn't easily portable. My guess is that if 10 is okay (and wait for the reviews - maybe in AARP) you baby that computer because everything else is going to be in the cloud. Around here clouds usually - but not much this year - have rain. Water is bad for computers
