All Microsoft needed to do was to add a checkbox to make W8 look and act like W7, for the majority of us that don't have touch screen PC's.
Now they are coming out with a free update to W8 called 8.1 and that adds a start button, but all that will do is bring up all the tiles. Not the familiar start menu.
They have to not be making the $$ they anticipated they would on this OS.
So many folks are not happy with W8, and the stats show it is selling worse than Vista did!
...And it is too bad because W8 boots up so much faster than any other windows OS did.
