I've heard complaints about Win 8.x, and altho I have it on one machine,
I don't use Windows much at all. I do use Classic Shell, so I never see those
big ugly square things. I am curious as to what makes you (and others)
dislike Win 8.x so much. (And btw, I don't own, and never will, a
touch-screen computer! I have tried touch screens, and I _really_
dislike them! Except for Garmin.)
