Hi,
Windows 8 is not so bad. It boots up much faster than any previous version
of windows and is more secure. You can get to the desktop by hitting
windows D several times,though the search feature of windows 8 is not as
good as it was in windows 7. You will also have to download a third party
dvd player as Microsoft was forced to remove it from windows media player.
VLC media player is a good free player.

Subject: Windows 8 question
I recently purchased a nice refurbished Lenovo laptop on Ebay with windows 7
on it.
A few months ago I called Dell and had a specific model I wanted and asked
for it with Windows 7 on it and they would not do it even though the same
model was available with 7 on it 8 months earlier. Since 7 is still a
supported OS I feel vendors should give us the choice.
If you are not to picky as to what you want, Some of the major vendors,
Lenovo, Dell, Toshiba etc. still have a few models available with 7 on them.
I wouldn't wait to long to check them out though.
I would take the Windows 8 laptop back.
The vendors and Microsoft shouldn't dictate what we buy and in my case, they
didn't.
