Darkerson, I need to be able to have more than two windows open at the same time, I useally have 4 windows open and I am viewing them at the same time for graphics projects! Win 8 will only allow 2 windows to be opened at a time, and no resizing! I need a task bar visable at all times beacuse I am useally running a rendering application, so I need to be able to switch to that task quickly, and I also have about 3 folder windows open to the directory where the rendered frames from the rendering application are spooling, I view these results to see if I need to stop rendering and adjust settings, then sart the rendering over again! So the Desktop in windows 8 has been stripped of to many of the productive aspects of windows 7! I intend to Stay with windows 7, but I need to be able to obtain New Hardware with windows 7 installed! We all Know that it is M$ intent to force its closed ecosystem App Store OS on us all, but the currend M$ management will fail! People need to be productive with their computers! And You can bet your life savings That I am not the Only WIN 8 hater out there!
