Your logic makes no sense.
Creativity leads to innovation and money. Not sitting on your butt producing the same software and never releasing a sequel. Microsoft is a business, it's what businesses do, they keep moving forward and that strikes with a risk--a failure or a success.

You think tearing apart his one line will change his mind?
This thread was not supposed to have this kind of arguing in it per the OP, so can we keep it nice and on topic?

No, I'm happy with Win7.


But the biggest reason is that I Love having local Admin control. Win8 has too much security between Me and my files. I absolutely hate having to jump multiple hoops in order to modify a file or permission.
Win8 is just Too user friendly. My hand gets held enough I don't need it tied behind my back.

Your post isn't doing much to keep it "nice and on topic" by quoting me on that. And it is relevant, conservative vs the liberals.
Conservative being the "IT guys" in a way at the workplace. They don't like change; hence, why they're still using Windows XP and/or just upgrading to Windows 7.

Liberal: Always wants the latest hardware and software to experiment.

This is simply NOT the reason I joined OCN.

Btw when I found the deals on win 8 I had to get it. But do yourself a favor an font hard upgrade, see if you can fresh install. I think my old win 7 key got voided. It asked me for my license key in 7 when I was half through the win8 do. I tried entering it but it declined my win7 key and the win 8 key.

When 8 installed there was no problem of course but still. I feel like I'm trapped. We'll see if I care in a few days

No. I may switch to Windows 8 when they release Win8 SP1, my usual windows upgrade strategy biggrin.gif. And it will probably be more expensive because it won't sell like Win7 did.
