Review by Dale in Texas

I love the new interface, and thought I’d miss the start button,so I downloaded the start shell execution file. After playing with 8 for a couple of hours, I never put the start button back. I have upgraded my 3 computers, my daughter’s, and several of my friends. They all love the program.

Update: 3/1/13 I love this program and I will never go back to Windows 7. The interface is so easy to use, and I have probably upgraded over 100 computers now with it, and so far have not had one complaint. It plays all my games and all of my other software has had zero problems.

Update: September 25, 2013nnI seriously think this is Microsoft’s best operating system ever. I still has some minor flaws, but it is very fast, and finds the right drivers. I recently added a parallel port by PCI Express. I restarted, entered the bios, saved changes, and booted into Windows 8. Then I went into the device manager, parallel port, properties, and changed the port settings from LPT-3 to LPT-1 where it is supposed to be. I turned on my old HP Laserjet 5, and plugged in the cable while Windows 8 was running. Down on the taskbar, Windows was loading the right drivers for that 20 + year old printer. Take the time to learn 8, and it will out perform 7, 3 to 1. It even downloads my I Phone, and 7 would not.
