The tablet is also good to use instead of a mouse. Which is cool, because my wireless mouse hasn't shipped yet. >.>

The joke is that going from 8 to 7 is an upgrade.

Is it still a joke if it's true?

I hope Windows 7 is still available when I get a new laptop to replace this old one.

That, or there's a Windows 9, and that it doesn't suck.

Gwen- your grandparents are gonna have a bad time, I suspect. Why the upgrade?

My new laptop is gonna have windows 8. Which would be better if it had a touchscreen, but fuck touchscreen laptops because they cost more money and rarely come with a CD/DVD drive.

No matter what you get, it's a Windows, and it will atomatically suck.

Nobody I know wants Windows 8. They looked for computers with Windows 7.

Also, @ Story: If you haven't done so already, could you add Applelight to the round robin list? He'd really like to write a chapter.

There's not many anymore. Also, though it ships with 8, you can always just install 7. Or Linux. Your choice, really.

@Ike: I agree with you, buddy. Touchscreen laptops usually cost more, for less screen size, G Hz, and memory. But I wouldn't even want a touchscreen, because then it would be all smudged.

The problem is that if it ships with 8, I'm also effectively paying for 8. And I don't want to pay for 8.

Unless I can update to 7 for free or something?

Only every other version of Windows sucks. Compare ME, Vista, and 8 with XP and 7.

There are some that ship with 7 AND 8. You get both, though I don't know which one it comes with.

Sure, but it's not necessary. The list is just the people who I'll ask specifically when a chapter is ready, but you can chime in at any point.

Honestly, 8 does seem okay for it's intended purpose of tablet stuff, but it's weirdly counter-intuitive on actual PC's. I wish they'd just divide it up, then 8'd be fine.

Would it cost just as much as something that came with just 7? Because my issue is paying extra money for something I'm never going to use. I'd rather put that money on Steam or something.

From what I've heard, Window 8's main problem is that it's a tablet OS released for P Cs.

I don't know a lot about it. It was just that certain laptops came with both, when I was looking them for me. I don't know if they costed more than others that only had a single one.

Microsoft definitely took an "It ain't broke, but we'll 'fix' it anyway" approach by following Windows XP and 7 with Vista and 8, respectively. A desire to be innovative and on the cutting edge shouldn't mean alienating half of your users.

I think they looked at the growth of the PC market and the growth of the Tablet market and jsut went Lol, Don't Care.

Why they didn't just develop a seperate variant for P Cs, I have no idea.

@Sydxelia: Only half? Remember, before 8, touch devices had their own OS already. The only people this negatively affected were the PC users, and this OS is meant to be FOR PC's.

"Meant to be" is debatable. But "suited for", it really isn't.

I've heard that it's worse than that: it doesn't work on tablets either, because of the PC elements.

They tried to make an OS that works on both PC's and tablets, and wound up with an OS that doesn't really work on either.

Sounds like the fable about the dog with a bone who saw his reflection in the water, tried to get both, and ended up losing the one he had in the first place.

I just grabbed a cracked pro version of 7 that was the most robust, tested to see if it worked on a virtual machine to be certain, and just did a reboot with the windows put on my flash drive.
