That being the situation, here's 50 top tips and tweaks for Windows 8 from an article last November in the U.K., and I've tried a couple of these, and they work. After all the publicity during its launch, it seems the actual sales of the new Windows 8 are running considerably behind expectations, and Microsoft is reluctant to say exactly what the real story is on all that. That's too bad, really, because this is a solid operating system, thanks to its Windows 7 foundations, and it has a lot of potential.
It seems, though, that the computer world isn't quite as ready for touch-screen technology as the folks at Microsoft thought. That figures, because even if you do have a touch-screen and are skilled at using it, there are still going to be jobs for which you will need to use a keyboard and mouse. Also, those fancy all-in-ones often have components which have a limited capacity because of the size limitations imposed by the compact design of the unit, and there's little or no room in them for bigger and better components if you wanted to upgrade.
So your fancy all-in-one might actually lack the kind of performance you could expect from your big bad desktop with its separate components.
I've got Windows 8 Pro on both of my desktops, in a dual-boot format with Windows 7 Home Premium, and I like it, but I can see where it might not be to everyone's taste.
