^^^ Interesting article.

Tablet PC's combo's really are terrific for biz / traveler's. I've maxed the mileage out of an older AMD dual core HP TX2 Touchsmart PC- tablet 12" screen, running 64 bit Win 7 Ultimate + XP virtual mode but sadly smoked for good. It was lousy when I first had Vista Ultimate but transformed into a great running / practical workhorse once upgraded the full Win 7 Ultimate. In time, I cooked thru 3 mutha boards... due to my fault over running it plus sometimes pushing a dual monitor set-up. My next tab / PC combo will likely have the Win 8 and for that machine, would hope its decent.

Just ordered in two other brand conventional notebooks but only with Win 7. They'll get the Win 7 Pro upgrade but after I specified what I wanted with Win 7, funny to see the retailers stock dwindling fairly quick and them pushing the Win 8 o.s..

I guess for the future and if one's not happy with Win 8, on a conventional laptop, probably format the drive and start fresh with a Win 7 o.s. version.

Other- I actually like some of the cloud freebie's. I don't get what the stink is as I still run auto backup's on a home network drive.
