I have noticed that Windows 7 is better but haven't had enough to do with 8 to gauge it. There is actually a program which you can use in Linux to do a live kernel update as well. Admittedly the Office program was quite a few years ago and was the Small business edition. I could have held off on some of the reboots but not knowing what was going to depend on what I decided it was better to do the reboots.	mikebartnz (21)
