[HCARC] Win 8

[Gary and Arlene Johnson]

Lets put some parameters about what people are talking about in this 
discussion of Windows 8 vs 7 vs XP.

I realize that there might be differences between them as far as computing 
power, graphing, manipulation of pictures etc, but for someone who surfs the 
web, maybe uses the computer to do spreadsheets, and the minutes of HCARC 
Meetings as well as emails, ebay, and running Radio Logging Programs such as 
N1MM or the other logging programs - IS THERE A DIFFERENCE??  I guess the 
question is compare what maybe Kerry S. might do with the computer in his 
job and with his electronics/engineering background and those of us who have 
Microbiology or History degrees.  Is there really any difference to the 
AVERAGE USER??

Second - if WIN 8 is designed for a touchpad environment, wouldn't a 
touchscreen monitor solve the problem??
