[MacTUG] Well this isn't good!

[Donald Duff-McCracken]

It is probably scandalous saying this on the Mactug mailing list but I really don’t have a prob with Win 8.1 and don’t feel it is a step back from Win7. It may not be a ’step up’ but it seems to me most OS upgrades are not these days ;-) I am running it as my main windows VM and I really do not have any problems with it. Frankly once you pop out of the silly start screen it behaves more or less as Win7. This is not to say we are using Win8 in our labs (either as a VM or on our Dell computers) but that is not because we have a particular problem with it — I think most if not all of our office machines (physical and virtual) are Win 8.1
