Me too, took a couple of days but I'm good with it now

I've just been forced into starting up my new selfbuild computer (remember the Shuttle DS81)
I nabbed a copy of completely genuine sealed Windows 7 pro on ebay for not a lot of money last year.
So compared to you guys I'm living in the past.. (I was in the last century with the one that blew up - xp 
)
I'll stick with 7 for quite a while now I think

I've moved from a 'conventional' computer to a Surface Pro 3 and peripherals. Steep learning curve but I do think that it is ultimately the better way, for my needs.
It is now my duty to completely drain you.

Windows is up to 8 now? Nice. Probably get a small notebook at some point just to have one.... maybe....
XP. Yeah. Still using that where I have to.....

I have Win 7 on one desktop and LInux Mint 17 on the other. Both are preferable to Windows 8 but you do what you have to do.

No one running a Shuttle is living in the past.
The Shuttle is the PC from the future in a form factor that we'll have to get to the future to see the full relevance of. 
In my book it's right up there with the Apple + box and there's not much up there with it.
I'm on 8.1 too and it's OK. Like XP was OK. I'm still waiting for someone to build an OS which is functionally better than System 6.07 on the Mac. Every operating system since then has been like a German girlfriend with OCD: always doing something you don't want them to do in your name and never doing anything you want them to do, usually because they were too busy doing something you didn't want them to,
At least with a neurotic German girlfriend the sex is great and you don't tend to get a virus.
(I'm sure there's a boyfriend equivalent but hey, you know...)

Hope you're using XP offline. Scary thought.
