Yeah I have Windows 8 on my laptop. I gotta say first off I hated it, especially with the natty-assed Start page that is super sensitive with the touchpad...just a touch and it's off to the races God knows where, hee hee. However it's like everything else new, you learn to cope eventually. When I use an exterior mouse everything calms down. Also I would guess someone with a touch screen would have less of a problem. I opted out on the touchscreen because of the fingerprints all over the screen. I put everything I need on the taskbar and for the most part forget about the Start screen.
