Fair enough, but my point still stands.  I think that is an extraordinary, and unnecessary step to take.  Having said that, if it makes the OP feel more comfortable, then it doesn't really...

I have to ask.  What was the point of installing the program to an external drive?  Most people in your situation would just turn on their new computer, log on to the internet, download the...

If you are referring specifically to whether you should stay with W7 because W8 is buggy, the answer is no.  W8 is considered a stable OS.  If you want to know in general whether you should get W7...

For what it's worth, I re-read your post shortly after I made my comment, and I realized what you meant.  I tried to delete my post, but couldn't.  Sorry.

Regarding the first point, even MS admits that W8 was designed with touch screens in mind.  Not solely for touch screens, but definitely geared towards touch screens.     Regarding the 2nd point,...

You know you could put an end to all the speculation if you just stated your reason for wanting to remove the watermark from a photo.  Your failure to do so speaks volumes in my opinion.

What are you saying?  Are you saying you would never copy a photo that had a watermark (which is the whole purpose of a watermark), or are you saying that if you didn't respect the photographer you...

I only started shooting in Raw this year.  Prior to that, for at least the last 15 years, I shot only in JPEG, and have been printing my own photos at home.   I have close to 100 photos on display...

This is the part of the "debate" that perplexes me.    I don't know you well enough to call you an expert, but  given that you are a developer, I would assume you have a reasonably good idea of...

Can you please clarify what you are asking.  Not really sure what you mean by "fully switch over".  As you know, usually when beta software is released it for testing purposes, not necessarily to...

No idea what the link is since it doesn't work (for me), but regardless, have fun getting all your software updates via disk.  And yes, it is a silly and pointless debate.  It's like arguing about...

This is a silly and pointless debate.  I suppose if you are aware of an update being released, you could call the software maker and ask them to send you the update via disk, which they may or may...

What doesn't he get?  What you are complaining about?  Sounds like your issue is that you live in a very remote area with no internet access.  How is that the fault of Windows 8 or Skydrive or...

Might have made more sense in context.  The tone of the entire article was  essentially (and I'm paraphrasing) "who needs a PC when you can do most everything you need to do on a tablet".  That's...

There was an article today in CNN business asserting that Windows 8 is not the cause of the pc sales slump, but rather the drop is due to the rise of tablets and smartphones.  That assertion has...

Costco has the T4i + 18-55 +55-250 + bag + card + HDMI cable for $899.   But......... The BEST deal right now is on Amazon.  T4i + 18-135 STM + 55-250 for $881.  This is a no brainer, since the...

Archer, you totally missed the analogy, or you simply twisted it to make your point.  Like software is supposed to serve the users (versus the other way around), doctors are supposed to serve the...

You hit the nail on the head with this statement.  MS is not focused on improving their software for a better user experience.  They are focused on improving their bottom line.  Absolutely nothing...

Congratulations!  You summed up every lame, condescending,  argument in favor of W8 in one paragraph.   So those that don't embrace W8 are novices, stupid, ignorant, lazy and inbred. Way to go!  I...

I see your point, but don't necessarily agree with it.   Taking the humorous hammer analogy one step further, what you are saying essentially is........If original hammers didn't have handles at...
