I cant remember exactly but I think its over 30 on one and closer to 40 maybe.

I have a string of laptops and a few towers in an bedroom office.

I dont think ill need that many, 10-15 would work for me

Just started selling accounts a couple weeks ago. Had hundreds made long before I decided to sell any.

And it is a she.

You have to be prepared and have plenty of back ups.

Even if you dont use them I like to sock drawer many for the future.

Guess for the purpose of simple stealth (computer just used for business only) I will stick with Win Xp and avoid the learning curve.

Oh god I hate Windows 8 with a passion. Stick with Windows 7.

Microsoft is going down.

It is really not that bad once you get past the gates crap of signing into a windows account.

Use local with password and bypass all the other stuff.

At the front of the line up of apps (most are useless) left hand corner bottom takes you to your desktop.

Done.

As I said, there is not much differences between Windows 7 and 8 except Start Menu.
Since Windows 8 was developed with touch in mind, so they changed start menu to Metro type.

You guys are making me nervous. I just ordered a new desktop and it has Windows 8. I hope there's no problems with windows user accounts. I usually have about 50 on each computer.

Have you read my above comments?

I have made 100s of accounts using it and not a single issue as far as the accounts.

Once you get past the gates like info sucking you can run very quick.

Basically, you can have as many accounts as you want, but they will definitely slow your computer down.
I am sure any OS was developed with in mind that there would be not so much users sharing a single computer.
Anyway, if you want that much accounts, I would suggest you should replace HD to SSD for better data bandwidth between ram and drives.

My first look with windows 8 was with a new laptop I sold. I offered to set it up and configure it. It kept loading that funky menu. It didnt have a start menu. I swear I played around with it for 30-40mins thinking that crap was some kind of software the manufacture installed. I couldnt find a way to "uninstall it" or stop it from loading. I finally gave up and did some googling and it turned out, that is the new windows. Not a big fan at all.

Bottom left hand corner will take you back to what we are used to seeing the the old desktop. Pay no attention to the apps that come up.

Go right to the old desktop by clicking the area showing the desktop.

It's been 2 days now and it's growing on me.

As you said, no problems with creating accounts. Just make it a local account with a Microsoft user, no problem.

The only thing I don't like about it so far is having to constantly switch to desktop mode every time I want to access a program. Little bit of a hassle. I can see where it'd be helpful if you used a touchscreen, but I do all my work on a desktop, and how many people really use a touchscreen for a desktop?

Ill keep my xp. If it's not broke then don't fix it.

I have one HP touchscreen and it is ok, nothing special.

I believe access to programs is also a pita. But once I am on a program I use I put a short cut on the desktop.

Big fail with win 8. Should have only been released with touch screen devices . Just got a new laptop and had to find one that came with win 7

I agree.

Another stupid move by some of the smartest people in the world.

How about create shortcuts for your programs on desktop or taskbar

Personally i think window xp and windows 7 are easier to manage. All this new crap that have out that suppose to enhance experience is buffoonery. I would get a computer with xp should cost that much and use it solely for stealth

[Sandy D]

The more I use it the more I like it.

Once you get used to all the gizmos and how to go around all of the gates info sucking things you will have it made.

[john456]

it is really great if you have a touch screen.

[untitled]

you can put it in reg ol windows mode
