No offense but there's more than a few bugs its got more bugs than a picnic area (i thought you'd like the terminoligy since yo make picnic tables) But anyway its definatly buggy. But youll have to play around to figure anything out cause its apain to get it to do some simple stuff. Like when you want to restart the only way i found how to do that was to log off first cause theres no restart option on the desktop.

there is an easy way to restart! first, hover you mouse over the start icon in the corner, and a small list will come up. When it comes up, click the settings butten, and there will be a power option! Hope that helps. :D

That must have been in a recent update cause when i downloaded and installed it the first time you couldnt do that so i just got rid of it completely and it took me a few hours to do it too cause the way ive had to get rid of dual booted os didnt work for this one

As is all Microsoft operating systems so far the only thing windows 8 is good for is messing up your boot.ini file. Unless your in windows 7 then you gotta download easybcd to fix it and make sure you configure it correctly. And if you try a dual boot with dual harddrives you wont boot into 7 unless you format the windows 8 drive. So have fun with it and try out some of the games.               If you do decide to try this make sure you back everything up and then have a computer place you can call for tech support on how to fix it.

What can it do that you can not already do. I saw a demo of it and they had trouble doing features W7 had standard.
