I prefer Win7 for my desktops. All the added frills for touch-screen and
tablet in Win8 are just excess baggage at the moment.
It's fun looking at MS's future though. I'm wondering if Apple are going
to follow suit and give us a hybrid of OS X and iOS.


Well Microsoft is giving us both a desktop and Metro UI. Apple only
gives you one. Although the rumor is that Microsoft plans to phaseout
the desktop. So Windows 9 might be Metro only.

I've got two boxes (Win7 on one, Win8 on the other) with a KVM switch.
It's good to give the second box some usage, rather than it just
gathering dust in the spare room.


I used to use KVM switches, but I switched over to docking and laptops
nowadays. I have over 20 laptops and only one I like to have an external
monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc. The rest I can use their keyboard,
screen, etc. I find this far better than using the KVM method. Plus you
can see all of the screens at once too without any switching. ;-)


Same here, disconnected the KVM into the recycle bin some 6 months ago.

Been doing the laptop/tablet and down to two desktops with no real plans
to replace them.
