Most geeks don't bother with paying for a month subscription to MS office suite anymore.
We use this free linux version

[QUOTE=GT182;5114856]Bob, you could have done the free upgrade to 8.1. Other than that you have to play around with 8.1 to get to know it. It's not that bad if you take the time to play with it and get used to it.

GT182 , I know what you mean .

The problem is , I'm a very simple uneducated guy and I get really agravated when I have to use apliances which are designed by highly educated people who have some kind of weird abstract notion about how these apliances should be operated.

So most of the logic you use operating them , is simply wasted because of that.
And that is just 'killing' for the little patience I have.

Clarification - My Q (above) referring to stand alone licensed copy(s) of MS Office, not monthly fee based license versions.

My disk data transfer rate is 5.9 , would a digital HD be the answer?
Win 7.. runs like XP have them both.. it works..
Win 8, essentially made for the "Surface Tablet" as a touch screen OS
Why in hell would they expect to sell that on a desktop or even laptop, makes ya wonder, more exercise?, more bacteria on the screen? more screens to replace?
Some things work, we STILL have steering wheels, and turn signals... I hate the customer "re training" these developers try to do.. My Webroot puts all my navigation tool bar stuff on the RIGHT when it runs a scan.. why? because facebook, PY, etc advertising is over there, think Im going to change for that?
8.1 was a help but only masks the 8.0
Real users, not portable users want stuff that works, and well...

You are not alone Bob. Most of are in the same boat as you, and really get aggravated too when something that's supposed to be simple ends up really really hard.

Remember the old saying.... "Life's a cinch by the inch, but hard by the yard."
