Yes, I've been reading about that. I heard that someone "accidentally" spread that virus??? Don't know details but it sounds like a really huge deal.
Oli,
FWIW In regard to you asking about Windows 8. I have Windows 7. I was at Office Depot a month or two ago looking around for a printer and told the worker that I had Windows 7. I asked about Windows 8 thinking my next computer could be an 8 and wanted the printer to be compatible. Anyway, he suggested sticking to Windows 7 and tho I don't totally understand the specifics, he said 8 had a lot of problems.
Then on the other hand what do they know. A few years back at Office Depot I got a Windows Vista which was fairly new. When I questioned him about it, he said I might as well get use to it, cause in a couple years every computer w/b Vista.
