I was very enthusiastic about the forthcoming windows 8 (when it was touted to be much lighter (small kernel, etc.)) having skipped Vista completely, hadn't been too impressed with win7 when released. But not really being able to do much about it, I was stuck with it on my net win7 netbook and I'm still not overly impressed with win7.

So from the initial hype I really was looking forward to win8, but the more reviews I have read the less impressed I am about it as a large screen Desktop PC OS solution.

So I may have to wait for the next incarnation of windows (win9) if there is one or take the best of a bad lot and get win7 before I get a new desktop, looks like that may be some time.

Hi Dch48 and DavidR,

That is why I appreciate it when both sides of the coin and also the third side is being discussed. Maybe bob3160 better fits the computing that is foreseen for the average Win8 user. Well I hope win8 is not like the mythical procrustean bed and you later find your feet gonna stick out,

Who has come to Jitsi from Skype? Some recommend using this instead of Skype. What is your experience?

Sorry Damien but this may replace Trillian. It is not a replacement for Skype.  :)
