Disappointed as the lay out and speed and ease of use is quite good, a little different from XP and Win 7 but usable. Basically they...
I have a HP touchsmart 600-1370a 64 bit with Win 7 premium installed. I used to run Photoshop CS3 and Photoshop CS6 no problems (both 32bit and 64 bits were installed upon initial installation). Recently my graphic driver was replaced by a HP authorised repairer and as they had problems with the...
I read, all over the web, comments regarding the dislike for the forthcoming Windows 8, and in particular, and in fact almost exclusively, criticism of the (as it was called) Metro.
I was urged to print my own thoughts on the subject, and I published an article which I have repeated here, in...

I have reserved a great deal of time not passing judgement on Windows 8, but so far I am not as enthused as, perhaps, I should be. This is not to say that I have given up on Windows 8, but for me, the Consumer Preview just isn't doing it. The main problem, of course, for me, and I suspect many...
