How popular is Windows 8.....

Well almost a year and a half after it's release, I get this ad from HP this morning saying they are bring back PC's with Windows 7 installed.  What a feather in the cap for Microsoft.  They have simply went to &%!# since Bill Gates retired and turned over the keys to the kingdom.

Yeah, I don't know why they think that a complete change is always better. I've had a real struggle with my new computer I got in October. Hell, I still can't even figure out how to turn the thing off!

LOL.  They are already working on  Windows 9 for release next year.  I installed Windows 8 on one machine and it stinks, but I might as well learn it (I got it for free).  My other 2 machines run Windows 7.

Still have Windows Vista on this computer.  The laptop has Windows 7.

I got a new laptop with Windows 8 on it so I could run a specific program.

I am mostly a Mac guy, but we have a couple windows machines. 8 has quite a learning curve to figure out what is going on.
Fortunately my son is a bit of a windows geek and is glad to sarcastically tell me what I am doing wrong.
