Sounds too complicated for my simple mind. haha. My friend attempted to install it in her notebook last week but she didn't continue it as it works well daw with a touchscreen tablet latop, is that true?

I guess you actually did what you suggested after all your friend now has it installed on his tablet :) I was expecting to see some actual screenshots though

I have seen a lot of publicity of Windows 8, I am very curious about it but I dont think its the right time to use this OS, im sure that there are still a lot of bugs on this one. My 2 cents :D

Ha, nose bleed!!! :-)
Sometimes our IT people would ask me what Windows I'm using and I don't know what to say. Up to know, I'm still confused, for as long as Word, excel and powerpoint are working, that's fine with me. :-)
