Yes, I use this OS in my pad computer. I have tried using Windows 10, but it takes too much space. I am getting ready to reload the OS, so I figure this is a good time to use such an app.
I would especially like an app that gets rid of the hideous things that are on the display (are they called "charms"?).

Have some pity on your CPU and RAM (not to mention your peripherals).
Put the system to sleep in a nice tub of salty water.

If I recall, there is nothing charming about Win8.
Laptops and PCs are so cheap now, why not buy a new machine with Win10? and throw your old one in the trash can.

I have a 12 year old laptop I've used almost every weekend this summer in the gazebo in the backyard. It's so old I didn't care if leaving it outdoors all season might've killed it. I brought it back inside after it's gotten too cold to hang out in the gazebo, and it's still going strong. I would not have done that with a new(-ish) laptop.
I didn't need anything more powerful to browse the web and read random articles. And contrary to a tablet, I could just leave it on my lap without holding it to read.

They soo cheap, I still have to save 6 months for an average PC; the desktop I got as a gift would have taken me a year worth of savings.
"Cheap" is rather relative.

I thought crafty was the anagram indicator.
How do you get arch from crafty and what was the anagram indicator if crafty was for arch?
|
|
|
|
|
It's a double definition - Crafty indicates the anagram of dean and co and also means Arch - sneaky but I like it
