I skipped a couple of generations when I finally moved to windows 7... not entirely sure that's the way to go, it was a BIG transition from XP !!
Of course, by now I like it just fine and don't want to switch to something else...
I will say, though, that for my laptop I would really prefer a system that is not so touch-screen oriented. Touch-screen is great for my tablet, and for my phone, but laptop...
