I'm still at this level, another few years and I might work out a windowed GUI:

Win 8 kernel is actually better and with Metro switched off using Classic shell it's ok.Comment

I agree re Vista - had to buy a new laptop a while back (before windows 7 n 8) only one available has Vista on it....
it worked just fine - had some random stuff that was pointless but it was no worse than xp.
which when I finally get round to 7 and 8 I will probably find the same thing - takes a few days to get used to but once into it it will be fine.
and after 6 months I will want to do something I used to do on Vista/XP not be able to do so and shock horror I will google the answer.
