Review by Gene P. Louie

I used almost every Microsoft operating system since MSDOS. Windows 8.1 is comparable to Vista, Windows ME, and Windows 3.0. All were losers.n.nThe biggest problem was the elimination of familiar functions that existed in the past generations of Windows. When it took me 25 minutes to reset the screen resolution and another 20 minutes to locate the setup for my wireless router, I threw up my hands, deleted the upgrade, and went back to Windows 7.n.nThe second biggest problem was incorporating tiles on a desktop monitor. For small screen tablets, this feature is essential. For a large desktop monitor, it is useless. Most manufacturers do not make touch sensitive features on large monitors.
