[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 1018882, member: 325666"] I did consider 8.1 myself as my main OS ...but TBH I am a bit set in my ways ..and like the look and feel of Win7 ...having been weened on Win95/98 ...and eventually moving to XP ...which even after being abandoned a couple of years back ..STILL has a 20% user maket share.. Win7 IS the natural replacement for XP ...but has only about 2 years of support left sadly. 8.1 has many good reviews ..and certainly has established a following ..but lacks the look and feel of XP or 7 ...so doesn't neccessarily appeal to older users like myself .. ..and having F****d up majorly with the original Win8 finger swiping version ...it put Soooo many users off . For once MS saw the error of their ways ..and relented with 8.1 ..bringing back some key features. Will they ever really learn ..? I guess it will take a huge catastrophe on the scale of the recent ransomeware incident to make folk aware that their personal data is 'out there' and open to exploitation.. [/QUOTE]
