Anyone running Win 8? If so how do you like it? I've got Win 7 right now and its OK but this HP computer has got to go. I'm going back to Dell.
I'm asking out of ignorance, I haven't spent a lot of time with it but, how the heck do you set it up so you can have say half a dozen windows (how I work all the time) open and running? I did manage to get two windows open once by accident and never figured out what I did to make it work.
FYI: I run dual monitors too.

I installed the Classic Shell and got rid of Metro and have no complaints at all, works just like 7 did and have been able to install all of my programs.
What is Metro?
I just fired up a new Lenovo laptop with Win 8, and so far haven't seen an advantage to it that I can utilize. It appears to have been created for people who need to get their jollies with a single click on the mouse or touch of the screen. Also, it seems to favor those who want to do "social media" on their computers.
I use mine for productive (read "business") purposes and, so far, have no use for Win 8. Maybe I'm missing the point, but I'm disgusted with it.
