That is all....

Just ditched it and went back to 7 about 10 minutes ago.
I thought one of the MAIN reasons to have a computer was efficiency , so WHY move everything tha users are accustomed to , to a different location. I sure wish car mfg would change the position of the majority of the controls every new model year. I'm REALLY tired of the accel -right side and brake on the left.

He hates change. He's also nearing 70. |
I use Linux, PCLinuxOS specifically. I've been Windows free with a few exceptions since 2005. The few Windows programs that I need I use XP in a virtual machine on my Linux box.

| I've had a lot of success with it so far... The right-click menu on Start is amazing, and covers a huge portion of the administrative work I do--greatly improved since 8.1. Compared to 7 there are a ton of improvements, and some regressions I am living with until they fix it. |

I doubt it unless you get it to run in WINE. It's been so long since I have messed with any CAD programs that I don't know of any good ones that run in Linux. Quoted:

I took a try at it but Linux requires an adjustment to how I do things and some aspects I have to give up that I guess I'm just not willing to. |
