What is your opinion on Windows 8?

Bonus Questions:

1. How do you feel about the possibility of Windows 9 and 10 being made?

2. Would you rather there was no Windows 8 and still Windows 7 or older?

My answers:

I suppose I may tolerate the modernization of Windows, although that is not a guarantee... I may even consider switching to Linux. I still currently use Windows 7, I hope it is a long time yet before it dies on me. Since I do my own computer programming, I have my own "pseudo" OS, which feels and looks just like the older OS versions. I, honestly, dread to think about Windows 9 or 10... in my opinion, technology does not necessarily have to advance every day... the only real great amount of knowledge I possess is within the I.T field... but I dislike modern technology, I don't want all of my knowledge to go to waste. Just my thoughts. :)

Update 3:

I'm sorry, but I don't agree with you, thank you for your contribution, however.

Update 4:

I would actually rather have a mouse than have touch screen, I'm just so old fashioned. I kind of wish that Windows 8 was only made for tablets...

    I thought I'd hate it, but after getting used to it, i think it's pretty good.

    Very decorative; nice aesthetically - and it's great how I can personalise the start menu. It's just a shame that I can't personalise it further.

    1. Bring one Windows 9 or 10!

    2. Dare I say it; but I prefer Windows 8 to 7. However, I am using a touchscreen, I imagine it can be quite frustrating to have just a mouse.

    On this computer I have Windows XP. It is fine. I thought 8 was written for tablets while 7 is for normal computers?
