I got a copy on cd with my new laptop.
I have no intention to install it any time soon.

I like it. To each his own.

"..a good word about Windows 8.1" There…I've said it. Sort of…

get used to it now (had it preinstalled on my MSI notebook), just use a setting for "legacy" view and you can forget about all these smartphone-like nonsence ;)

It used to be the joke was that 8.1 of your previous apps were compatible.
