18. Vista's a piece of crap, but Win8 puts Vista on a sliver platter and makes it smell like roses!

XP is still the most used because it is stable. I can defnitely say the same of Win7, although I was skeptical at first. The biggest problems I have with Win7 are 1) getting impatient with venodors to come out with 64-bit Win7 compatible versions; and 2) Forgetting to check the available disk space for the automated full backup that happens overnight on Sunday. Other than those two tings, I love it.

There will be no Win8 on one of my machines. Ever. It seems they took three steps backward and four steps sideways to create it.

My son got a new machine with Win8 because he uses smart phones and likes the pre-school lcon look they adopted for Win8. I can't even look at it without feeling neurons committing mass suicide out of terror and hearing the screams of millions of other people suffering the same attrocity.

I hope Win8 gets tucked away in the "almost ran" closet along with Microsoft Bob.
