It's lasted and served you well, Daniel.

But I guess it's time to move on.........Windows 8.1 here you come, pmsl!!!!!!

I'm using Windows 7 mate and sticking with it as long as I can. I haven't had any problems with it at all. Vista was a nightmare for me.

realy dont want to moveto 8 yet ,, seven will do fine ,,,and yes vista hung in there ,

Well back up on the internet ,, will change my siginature to reflect the new system ,, got a best buy /dell /intel store bought desk top ,, hating 8.1 ,,what are these people thinking about ,,will take a while to adapt to this nonsence ,, but it has quad core /3.10 mghtz and 12 gig of ram ,, should handle Cross /videos ,, no if I can get them to play from the back up ,,this is going to be a tribulation

Most things that I have read about Windows 8 in terms of audio performance have been very positive (overall it seems like ableton runs faster on my desktop, though I haven't done anything too cpu intensive yet).

Though I agree that the new layout takes some getting used to!

well stand by all the win 8 .1 users because will need some tutalage ,, running into issues just getting the media player to play my music from my old computer ,, will give info later ,,now bout to put some internet security on this rig ,,

MS announced '8.1 update 1' with desktop/startmenu getting back. If news-site is right it will be coming (Patch) Tuesday the 8th April.

In addition to Media Center you might want to install free VLC (videolan) as an additional program as backup/workaround. It plays about every vid/aud and has many tweaks (like sc routing).

Keyboard settings are in file in 'user profile' area folder has a recognizable name; if you have from the old, just copy.
