    Re: Windows 8 - Who's upgraded?

    I would upgrade if I didn't need to have my laptop run stuff I need for work, but it would cause too much hassle, plus the IT company would just use the excuse that I'm running a non approved os and would blame that if absolutely anything went wrong.

    I know where they are coming from but these guys tend to blame everything on that, and unless I also buy the hardware from them (after they put their 30% markup on it) they blame that too...

    Based on Windows history of releasing crap, good, crap, good, crap, good OS, this one is due to be crap.. lol

    I'll wait for the next one.

    To be honest, I'm still using WinXP.. does everything I need and want, though I'm thinking of upgrading to Win7.

    I don't think the software we use at work will work with 8 just yet.. they seem to take a year or so to get it right.

    Bought a copy of windows 8 during the week.

    Going to throw it on my touchscreen jukebox and see how it goes.

    Will image the hdd beforehand so it's easy to go back if I dont like it

    I'm in the same boat as you John, I'm following the windows rule and hoping win9 is a winner! hahaha
    I'll probably be ready to upgrade hardware by then anyway
