Also, even the firefox and chrome browers now run incredibly slow, once you figure out how to install them. Its like going back a decade.
I'm going to slug it through as I see a lot of potential for Windows 8, but right now I'm not so happy being an early adopter.
I had the pre-release installed on a differernt computer, but didn't try to make everything on it work like I actually use my computer, so I shouldn't be surprised now I have problems.
In short, wait. The upgrade has been a difficult experience even for someone who thought they knew what they were getting into.

You are correct. It has the potential but it is wat to difficult to use. With operating systems being so intuitive today you would think itit would be exciting to use but it's annoying difficult to use, like this pos samsung tablet I am trying to use. This has taken 10 mins to f'ing type this.
