Hi All,
Being of generally unsound mind and doubtful sanity, I have decided to become an early adopter of Windows 8. The main reasoning behind this is everytime they come up with a new operating system I usually waited until as long as a year before jumping in figuring that they would get all the bugs worked out by then. Each time that I have done this in the past it usually worked out that the early adopters got software at ridiculously low initial prices while they did have to deal with a few oddities and strange little things. By the time I got around to it and had funds available to do the deed, it would be anywhere from three to four times what it would have cost otherwise.
Well, I have been reading and experimenting around with the betas, keeping up with Chris Pirillo, Kim Komando and a few other of the online guides checking things out and decided what the heck, in for a penny, in for a pound. I ordered the download from the Microsoft site and included them sending me a hard copy on disc so this saved me right around $12 off of what it would have been had I just walked into the either one of the "Office" places and offered up my plastic. I also read up a little and discovered that you can get a free edition of the Media system by signing up and having it delivered to your E Mail Adress within 24 hours of hitting the "Enter" key. I will have to cough up some more dollarations for a new DVD player since the one I am using is a hold over from many moons ago and is no longer compatible with the new OS. Oh well, such is life, it has been with me since I loaded up Windows 95 so I figure that I have gotten my moneys worth out of it.
So stay tuned as I work my way through this and you will get to see how it goes for me as I go through the transformation to Microsofts latest and greatest.
