Dont make the leap too fast, im using windows 8.1 on my new rig and so far its ok but there's some bloody annoying bugs.

I used "safely remove hardware" for a usb stick.... now when i plug it in it says the stick is broken....even though it works on plenty of other things, apparently its a problems in the registry that microsoft know about but are yet to fix Sad



Should of stayed on vista

Windows 8 is actually very very good.
The GUI is pants.
Check out one of the many many threads about restoring the start button and putting a windows 7 GUI on W8.
