I was facing the XPocalypse with two old Dells (a 2008 64-bit desktop and a 2006 32-bit laptop)… and was interested (and reassured) to read your views above, especially the first post.
I’ve had a little experience of 8.0 and felt just as you did.

Both machines are now running Win7 and doin’ just fine (even the laptop, with 2GB RAM and integrated graphics!)

I enjoyed this article:

Best wishes,
Colin B

They’ve not fixed everything, but it’s at least on the right track now. But please Microsoft, don’t just throw away useful features. It’s rude.
