Any one upgrading
Is see that XP users like myself can upgrade
Not sure if the laptop can handle it 
Daughter has just gone out to replace her knackered laptop with a new Win 8 model.
Actually went out to do it last night but they were all stripping the shelves to set up the new machines cos I`d forgotten about the launch.
I`ll have a play tomorrow (if she lets me).

I used to be with it, but then they changed what `it` was.
Now, what I`m with isn`t it, and what`s `it` seems weird and scary

I`ve been using the customer previews a bit on my laptop, no problems, it`s fast to boot, had no crashes, just works, although I`ve only really used it as a traditional windows desktop for internet. I used "metro" a few times to play a couple of games, worked ok.

I doubt any computer bought before Win7 came out could handle it. And if it could, you`d have to turn off all the pretty stuff and still suffer a lot of disk swapping
ran perfect on my ancient mac mini :p only took it of because i hated it lol.. would use it on a tab tho.

Have to say, there`s nothing about this that appeals to me, and that cartoonish, child-like front end is a major step backwards

Writer`s Release
hmmm, £25 to upgrade from XP, so in effect, even if your starting from scratch, you can get a valid xp COA on fleabay for about a fiver, making a fully legit copy of win8 for around £30..
got to admit, that makes it tempting for my laptop, gonna have to get used to something beyond XP eventually lol :)
