Off topic for the Ebike theme I know.
But I bought a new laptop for my daughter with Windows 8 for Christmas - my first exposure with it - out of the box I found pretty much unusable and incredibly frustrating.
There were annoying corner pop-ups continually covering up what I was trying to access.
After a couple of hours messing about and Googling I had it updated to 8.1 and setup more like the traditional windows style and it is fine.
Why don't Microsoft give a simple setup process were you choose the type of device you have, ie, no touch screen, and make it easy to choose the usual desktop format?
I agree about Linux and would suggest Linux Mint would suit a lot of Windows refugees!
Best wishes to all members for Christmas.
