Graduated from Windows Vista, a 32 bit based opsys to Windows
7 pro, a 64 bit opsys. Had to get some more mem. to make it
useful, now 7 gigs of Ram.
It seems, after a test or two that the copy/paste functions work
as they should. lol

Who has Windows 8 and is it an improvement?

Windows 8.0 is GREAT!!

Too bad Bill isn't a Husky fan.
Prolly Paker and all his Mac schitt has him pissed off.

Bill vs. Phil
What could have been.

I just got a computer with Windows 8.0 and I don't think it is an improvement. I would love to roll back to 7 but MS will not allow that.

If you have a valid Product Key for W7 you would be able to re-install W7.
If you don't have the W7 install disk you may be able to borrow one or have one copied. You have to make certain that the install disk is the same variant (of W7) as the key.
I've copied Windows disks without any trouble....it's the Product Key that is the piracy control.

Edit:
If you want to save W8 you can set your machine up to "Dual Boot".
Partition your hard drive in half (or similar)
On startup the machine will default W8 and you have 30 seconds to choose W7. (typically, without tweaking, the default OS is the most current)

The above is a good way to get used to a new OS without dumping anything.
My 83 year old mom used an XP/Vista dual boot machine.

Interesting. I have a Tbyte backup hard drive and my old vista system is backed up on it. However, I don't want to regress if I don't have to.
I finally got the Halo games and Doom games to behave on 7 so other
than missing a few icons, I believe I can adapt.

Sometimes going back is not "regressing" when the new OS is buggy and has driver issues, as was the case with the first appearance of Vista.
Haven't used W8 so I have no opinion of it.
