I didn't think I'd like Windows 8

Took the plunge on a touch laptop yesterday at the Sony Outlet Store.  I thought I'd need Windows 8 for Dummies or a class at the Microsoft Store. But Mr. Google answered all my questions so far. I have been debating replacing an older laptop, and an odd article about a virus attack on Linux tipped the scale. Windows is the most attacked platform, but it's probably also one of the best protected. And I can't get a Citibank virtual credit card number on a Mac (which has halted the credit card fraud problem). They say an upgrade that will restore the Windows Start Button is coming out shortly, but once you get past that inconvenience, Windows 8 Touch is actually kinda fun.
