This is a sub-selection from [WIN8] Windows 8 --- What benifits over W7-64?

This sets a bad precedent having to pay for features that were once part of the OS to have it work productively as it did before. The precedent was already set with MS Office. You had to buy a third-party add-on to get the old menu structure back. BTW, got an e-mail from one of our corporate clients (industrial) who was inquiring if our software was compatible with Win7. They are getting ready to upgrade from XP. This is typical of fortune 500 manufacturers that we deal with. I predict that Win8 will be bypassed by the corporate world just like they bypassed Vista.

Sounds eerily similar to my company. We have an office in Canada. What software does your company vend? Thanks, David

Ours is a very vertical market. Chemical engineering simulation software, tools and services. Our primary market is pulp and paper, but we get into other water-based industries.

Euell Gibbons was right! Dave
