Windows 8.1 discussion

I don't know much about computers. Mine got bogged down with who knows what. No apparrent viruses. I think just a lot of accumulated garbage in the registry (?). So I put Linux on - instant speed!

I just never got used to the interface so decided to try Win 8. So far it has been stable for several months. No sign of slowing in about a year. It has some anti-virus built in. Not sure if that's helping - maybe? Of course I run another anti-virus but every windows system I've ever had slowed down anyway.

The interface is a mild annoyance. It's clearly geared for a touch screen. Seems weird to me. Why a touch screen on a desktop? I think I'll use the fix described above.

If this version suffers from the same slow down I'm going over to Mac. From what I hear they don't slow down and no viruses.
