Haha, I did the same Gary, don't expect your anger to end any time soon, ive been using 8 (now 8.1) almost every day for a good year now, never really got used to, running it as close to windows 7 as I can (windows classic) yet the windows 8 still pees me off , I loved using win 7 so much , yet 8 just blows in soooo many ways , I still find it very frustrating at times ,I hope whoever came up with it got the arse, its less than they deserve, stupid nerds (lol)

I have been in the IT game for over 15 years and this is a topic that will never go away. (If only I had a dollar for every time it comes up.....)
Take your time Gary. You will get it mate. In six months time you will wonder how you got on before the upgrade.
Just a fact, Windows 8 essentially is the same as Windows 7 (from the users point of view) its directory structure and composition is the same. There are technical differences between the two but the user wont see them. The only real difference in the user interface is that Windows 7 has a "Start button" (in the task bar) and Windows 8 has a "Start screen"
Windows 8 came about to service the growing Tablet market as well as the PC market where Windows 7 would not work on a Tablet (in general)
The Start button has links and the Start screen has Tiles.
Both are configurable as to what you can show on each of them and where you want the links or tiles to be placed.
Windows 8 is plugged into the social media world and you can have live feeds to your Facebook accounts, email, Twitter, nissanpatrol.com.au etc etc. Windows 7 doesn't.
They both have a desktop and you can put shortcuts on them. They both have User profiles.
Just a bit of trivia for you.
Cheers,
Rob

WARNING!: Do not ever use a towball as a recovery point. They are not rated and can become a deadly projectile during a recovery if they snap off, and they have done so with tragic results in the past.

That's what I figure. If I have one redeeming feature it's persistence. Might whinge and bitch and throw an occasional tanty but will keep pluggin away.

No worries Gary.
Nothing wrong with throwing the odd wobbly from time to time. Helps blow the cobwebs out of us old blokes.
Cheers,
Rob
