I'd rather not have Windows 8 as most don't like it. Can anyone tell me why or why not this is true?

The Windows 8.1 upgrade slightly addressed this issue by allowing the users to set Windows 8 to start up to desktop. It still has a slight learning curve to it, because you still need to access your "Apps" via the Start screen or create links to them on your desktop. Functionally, it really isn't that much different from Windows 7, but visually it is. Also, from the Start screen, there is an arrow that you click that takes you to your apps, which is a scrolling group of small tile links. All you do is move your mouse left or right and it scrolls automatically through your apps. It isn't terrible, it just isn't what people grew accustomed to. The one positive is the security of Windows 8.1 is superior to Windows 7. Also, there is knowing that you aren't one more version further back in the cycle. If you want I can take some screen shots. Not sure what others think. Personally, I hated 8.1 the second I installed it, but after using it for a while I got very used to it and it doesn't really bother me any more. Do note that Windows 8 cannot be set to load to desktop, but 8.1 can be. |

A 2.5" enclosure and 5400rpm laptop HDD are dirt cheap and the peace of mind is WELL worth it. |

BTW, the new 800 series mobile graphics cards look rather interesting.
The price point is attractive, and the performance is within reason. |

We have a laptop and I want a tower for my office/man cave where my monitor and TV sit next to each other.

When you're talking about low-end computers, there's really no reason to get a desktop, even if that's ideally what you need in your physical space. Desktops are all about performance, IMO. |
