I honestly don't see the issue. I was using XP for years and did a new build earlier on this year and had to upgrage the OS. So I got a copy of windows 8.1 and installed it. They also upgraded our works laptops recently too.

It works great, I can boot directly to the apps screen, or the tiled start menu or boot straight to desktop if I want. All the programs I need have released a 64 bit version or work anyway. The tiled start menu works like a giant shortcut screen where can get access to all the stuff I regularly use organised by category and more importantly it reads the imbedded jpegs on my raw files so I can now see them in explorer instead of a generic icon.

XP was old, really old and desperately needed a decent upgrade.

Using W8. One click and it looks and operates very much like W7.

Wrong! Wrong! Wrong! Wrong!

OSX is soooooooo (o.m.g. sooooo) much better then Windows.

1) OSX is a Unix based operating system.. Its built on the MACH kernel (freebsd, netbsd.. etc).
2) OSX is faster.. My desktop OSX system boots from the BIOS screen to the finder in under 4 seconds. Not like windows FAKE fast boot where things are still loading in the background and you cant do anything... 4 seconds to full functionality.
3) OSX does more with less.. OSX handles memory WAY better then windows. It also requires less HD space.
4) OSX has better built in tools.. TimeMachine. 'Nuf said.
5) OSX is cheaper.. Windows 8 = $100. OSX 10.8 = $20.. OSX 10.9 (Mavericks) = Free Upgrade. (how much would it cost to go from Win7 to 8? $100)
6) OSX is more powerfull.. I can run Windows Programs, Linux and OSX all from one system.
7) OSX is user friendly.. My mom can use OSX.

Don't be bad mouthing an operating system you've never spent some time with .. As somebody who makes a living working with Windows OS's (Both Desktop and Server) i would take OSX any day over Windows.

Uh...

1> Windows is based off of a brand new kernel that was designed from the ground up, taking advantage of all the lessons that were learned from prior operating systems like UNIX and (particularly) VMS.
2> Faster by what measurement? It's nearly impossible to compare two different operating systems in a qualitative way like that because there are so many variables and one thing may simply run better or be ported better to another. Also, some things you need or want are only available on one of the OSes.
3> That's so broad that there's simply no way to prove it. It's ridiculous.
4> I will give you that- out of the box- Mac has some really really nice tools and capabilities that Windows CANNOT hold a candle to. HOWEVER... Windows is the #1 platform in the industry by a LANDSLIDE. And that means that there are faaaaaaaaaaaaar more options available in the market than there are for the Mac.
5> OSX is cheaper... until you consider the hardware you're purchasing from Apple to run it on. BTW, Win8 was a $40 upgrade for Win7 users for quite some time.
6> Uh... yeah, that's just ridiculous. I can do all that on my PC as well. I have VirtualBox and VMware workstation, and have a variety of OSes running in them. I'm running one right now for some work I'm doing.
7> User friendly is all about what you know. I support Macintoshes and I'm constantly banging my head on the desk because they make things so weird. But that's just because I've been doing Windows for 80 million years and I'm not used to it. This argument is ridiculous.

So... what I'm saying... is that your entire post is pretty much ridiculous propaganda hogwash. Except for 1/2 of point 4.

Don't make assertions about things you know very little about.

I still have my DOS 1.0 (IBM version written by Mr Bill Gates) on 5-1/4 floppy. I'm pretty sure that things whizzes faster than any operating system on a modern computer. I can stick a label on it and call it Windows 8.2
And once you learn edlin, Word just won't compare !!
