Jim,

I frankly confess that I do not understand the vehement objections to
Windows 8+. As soon as I figured out how to sidestep the tile-UI,
everything provided has proved way better than Win7 (although I still run
Win7 on my tower). I've configured both laptop and desk-tower to recognize
the shared drives on both boxes, and on the Win 8.1 laptop I never see the
tiles UI, so I really don't see the problem. It's drop-dead simple to
bypass the tiles-UI and after that, the W8.1 is way better than any
previous Winstallation. I just don't get all the whining and bitching about
Win8+. As far as I'm concerned, it's way better than previous editions.
Mind you, I have set it up to mostly ignore the tiles UI, and that is
drop-dead simple to implement, but once having got there, the 8.1
implementation far outclasses all previous implementations, IMO.
