first thoughts of windows 8 ?
I like Win8 and the Metro interface. It's faster than Win7 on my computer. |

Did you have to reinstall your programs?
I did clean installs with the beta Win8s. I'll buy Win8 next month when I build a new computer. It will be a clean install and I'll have to install apps from scratch. I never do upgrade installs. |

I'm sticking with XP, where my apps work.
Chiefly a 2005 version of Cygwin. -- On the internet, nobody knows you're a jerk. |

Win8 is faster than WinXP, but I wouldn't change unless I had a new computer and had to install all apps from scratch. |

But I've only been using it for 3 days. Outlook Express has been replaced (approximately) with Windows Live Mail. You can download it he http://download.cnet.com/Windows-Liv...7_4-98282.html I have an early version which came installed on my Windows 7 Dell desktop in the Fall of 2010. I've heard that later versions are less like Outlook Express, unfortunately. If you don't like the latest Windows Live Mail, I've heard Mozilla's Thunderbird is good enough to it give a try. *TimDaniels* |

The rearrangement of files under win7 is enough to kill my apps anyway. Who wants to rewrite a thousand shell scripts when it works fine. -- On the internet, nobody knows you're a jerk. |
