AAAhh that sybershot has everything .. all the newest toys .. lol , i will soon be getting my new 1 terabyte harddrive to replace my failing on in my pc. i'll be happy just to have that lol!
lol Lightspeed, I wish I had the all the newest toys. I only have windows 8 for I could not pass on the price
Sorry to hear about your Hard drive, that always makes for a bad time.
Art indeed Data gave some great advise, burning to a disk is definitely the way to go. I was forced to do a clean install of windows 8 for I did not have the required space to overwrite windows 7. My 40gig ssd is way to small, So I'll be buying a new hard drive soon as well. though unlike Lightspeed, mine will probably have less gigs. unless I get more funds.
It is more geared toward mobile devices than for desktop computers IMHO. I don't care for all those blocky APP windows on the desktop. I like my customized desktop, wallpaper, gadgets and icons arranged the way I prefer to use them with Windows 7.
I can't argue that it geared more towards a mobile device with a touchscreen, but I can say that those blocky app windows are not on the desktop
that is the new start menu that you are referring to. The desktop is 98% the same as windows 7 minus the start button and sidebar where you can have apps like a cpu meter. The desktop is still customizable, with wallpaper/gadgets and icons, but for the sidebar, you would have to install a 3rd party one.
