Although you meant it as a joke, Windows 8 is actually ok. It's far less annoying than dealing with MacOS and Linux.

I use windows 8,  speed wise an improvement on windows 7.  Once you get used to it its not too bad.  Hoping the free windows 10 will be the one.  

I do not mind MacOSx again  once you get used to it it has some niffty features.

Linux just cant be arsed with.  Tried several times and its just still more fuss than I have time for.

It isn't close. Going back to Windows 7 Ultimate from Windows 8.1 recently was really painful. I don't use tablets or "metro" apps but desktop mode in Windows 8.1 is just better than Windows 7. You just have to get passed the negative press so you can actually use it and see the truth.

People hated 95 then loved it, people hated XP then loved it. Watching people getting manipulated is fun.

After using 8 and 8.1 since release date I find it hard going back to Windows 7. 8.1 is very snappy, and well thought out.

Hybrid boot is amazing tech, halves your boot time. Hate waiting for Windows 7 to sort itself out these days.

There is a lot of negative hype out there about it but most of this is from ignorant or anti MS people. MS have been making some great products of late.

Windows 10 is also a good OS too, I have that setup on another desktop here and each update that is pushed it just gets better. A shame they had to bend over and use a hybrid start menu though as that feels like a step back.

The release should have been Windows 10 then 8 maybe the change would be more subtle.

Windows 8 gets better as more software is developed for it. Unless you use a lot of older software it is pretty good.
As soon as Windows 10 is released the cycle will start again. There will be a lot of software that no longer works. Incompatible hardware etc. Until several years later it works stable.

Lets face it. The only reason I have Win7 is for some modern games and some other apps. Many games are not supported on Win8+, so I'm fine right here.

@all

I have added a new blog entry with more details about my  X1000 Troubleshooting process since my CFE flashing issue on Easter  Friday.

It covers what I was trying to do and the  troubleshooting steps done so far, as this information may potentially  be helpful to other X1000 owners troubleshooting problems.

Link is here:

http://amigax1000.blogspot.com.au/2015/04/x1000-troubleshooting-and-repair-part-1.html

I hope to have my X1000 fixed and working again soon!

Hi All,

I have added a new blog entry this weekend, looking at a 2MB Comspec expansion I bought and using it to run Kickstart 2.0 on my Amiga 1000!

http://amigax1000.blogspot.com.au/2015/04/amiga-1000-comspec-2mb-ax2000-with.html

I hope you find it interesting! :-)
