Yes, I have the Technical Preview on two systems on our network. So far, I am quite impressed, and only have a minor problem with one piece of software, and that is not a show stopper. Thankfully the start button is back!! As regards the "tablet" side, it's really the Touch Screen feature are which is becoming more popular. More and more large touch screens are becoming available, and at lower and lower cost. These are becoming especially popular when you have say small staff meetings and don't have to phaff around with a mouse, just use a finger.

Nice if windows ten is looking like seven, why ms put a tablet os on pcs I will never get my head around. I know the reason, it's apple, but why migrate something made for the surface pro to a pc format where it would fail due to peple liking their keyboards? -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of George Bell Sent: 13 January 2015 17:03 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: Desktop replacement Your hesitancy about Windows 8 is wise. (Thankfully Windows 10 is looking more like 7) You can still buy legal copies of Windows 7, primarily used to re-cycle older PCs, but still a full, legal version.

Last time it was fixed by some thumps, but, this time the magic thump is not working. I will be opening it up to see if I can find the loose cable/connection. However, I have a feeling it is time to replace the entire system now. I am little hesitant to go over to windows 8 as I have to upgrade several of my software. I was wondering if anyone could recommend windows 7 laptop or a desktop computer?
