Hi Marion, I'm glad my comment was helpful. You are correct: there are a LOT of factors to consider when deciding to upgrade your OS...and it's often difficult to see past all the marketing hype out there and drill down to the important technical issues. To counter all the hype, nothing is as useful as conducting diligent research...and from a number of credible and legitimate tech sources. There are lots of these around...just Google "Windows 8 Reviews" and you'll get a ton of sources. Just make sure those sources are qualified technology sites. It is a very important decision and takes careful research. Good Luck to any readers out there considering this important decision...and remember that you can always upgrade to Windows 7...it doesn't need to be Windows 8.
