I wonder if 64-bit XP users even have an option as there was NEVER a SP3 for 64-bit XP.

As I have read...........seems that the "pro" references to the Ultimate.

Either way..........Windows 8 is a total flop inevitability. No business will EVER EVER EVER EVER adopt and that's kinda a necessity as I see it. I won't touch with 10 foot pole.

I attempted to beta test W 8, as I have done on many of MS OS.
I reformatted my drive to free myself of this travesty after suffering for 2 weeks. This OS will exceed Windows ME in uselesness. Even with MS keeping ver 6.xx.xxx most device software refused to install, citing the os, especially HP drivers. W8 reports installed OK but try to use the device-no way.

No need to upgrade. Win7 is running smooth.

The main Windows 8 screen is dumb and ugly. In fact it is terrible. The operating system is impossible to navigate. It is hard to find the settings screens to make changes and works no better than Windows 7. It is simply a way to take your money and get nothing in return. Keep It ! p.s. One thing I will say is Internet Explorer 10 is much better. Faster and Better Video Look !
