Review by Robert D. Spessard

I was a little skeptical about going from Windows XP to Windows 8, due to the drastic difference in the way the programs are written. After a few choice words and shaking my fist at my computer, and also calling up my Grandson several times a day to figure out how to use Windows 8, I finally got the hang of it. It loads a whole lot faster than Windows XP and has so many more capabilities than XP did. although Windows 8 was primarily designed for touchscreen use, it also works very well without touchscreen. When my old monitor gives up, I’ll upgrade to a touchscreen, but for now its smooth sailing with Windows 8. It is definitely a real improvement over XP, but it does take a little getting used to. I’m glad that I upgraded to Windows 8 and upgraded my computer at the same time, because now there’s no more setting and waiting for my programs to load. When I push the buttons now, (Kaboom) my programs load almost instantaneously, no more setting and waiting! I definitely recommend upgrading to Windows 8!
