1311352 2012-11-09 09:24:00 No. Haven't seen any need for it yet. Maybe wait for Windows 9. coldot (6847)
1311353 2012-11-09 09:25:00 No, but I believe there is an ointment you can get, though. KarameaDave (15222)
1311354 2012-11-09 09:25:00 Hey mods, could you please add in a extra answer for the poll? Call it "maybe". :thanks: :D

Can you also add the line "Not bloody likely".

I'll personally be avoiding Win8, as I appreciate being able to actually get stuff done without bleeding the day away finding where another routine function or menu has been hidden and re-dressed as something different to amuse the simple folk.

Change for the sake of change alone (or simply to get folk to p' away cash for an 'upgrade' is just plain dumb.

Shove Win 8!

1311356 2012-11-09 09:56:00 I installed it on my laptop no problem and Windows 8 is working well on it.

I attempted to install it on my desktop. The install went well until it was almost finished. The computer informed me that it did not want Windows 8 on it and undid the install then reinstalled Windows 7. Windows 7 is working better than ever now on my desktop.

Good decision!

Win 8 is an erratic piece of OS ... sometimes, it needs driver for a DVD optical driver, sometimes its needs driver for a simple keyboard, sometimes it needs driver a simple mouse, etc., etc. What a load of rubbish!

That to me seems like corrupted driver files...
