It takes a while to get used to 8.1 but once you do you learn that it's really worse than you thought.
Actually I'm joking. I have OS preferences but they've never mattered a lot to me. I began using computers long before they had screens so all this seems like magic to me. The very worse OS I've ever used was the Atari ST version of GEM and it wasn't all that bad. The very best I've used was a 6809 system called Flex but it wasn't all that good.
It's really the programs I use that make a difference.
