after passing on vista and w7 upgrades over the years, i decided to finally take the leap, opting for w8p/64 with my new machine purchase, and once and for all retiring my faithful xp os which had served me well since it was first released (well not entirely true, i still use xp for a couple of very old legacy programs that i can't live without, using virtualbox from within w8).
anyway i was fortunate to discover this great forum prior to my move to w8, and it has made the transition very smooth, painless and enjoyable - from the installation process to learning the w8 ropes, i have continued to reference this forum for guidance and instruction, and it has never come close to letting me down. so a big thanks to the admins, the expert contributors and forum members for creating such a valuable resource, very well done gents!
