<p>All right already. With all this talk about Windows 8 and what a turkey it is, we realized it was our duty to the readers to get in there and suffer. Well, there's good news, and still bad news.</p><p>We jumped into the new world and bought one of those HP "all-in-one" computers. It looks like a big TV and all the computer parts are built into the screen housing. It's beautiful. We mean, design-wise it's beautiful. And it was only $530 at Staples, the giant office supply chain. Joy was dazzled by the 23-inch screen, and besides, a similar Windows 7 machine last year's model costs nearly twice as much. In just seconds, she talked Bob into getting it. He hates it.</p><p>What's the problem? For long-time users, everything in Windows 8 feels different, and nothing is where you think it should be. Who needs that? Bob's not interested in going back to school when his old machine still works fine. He returned to his old Windows XP computer after one day. (Half the world still uses Windows XP, by the way.) But Joy likes the new all-in-one, except for this kinda big problem known since ancient times as "the blue screen of death." That's when the computer locks up, the screen turns blue, and you have to reboot.</p><p>That infamous bug has returned. Windows 8 went blue screen twice in the first few days Joy used it. But it's a warm and friendly blue screen of death. It comes with a message in the middle that says: "We're sorry," etc., etc. Bob's XP computer has never experienced the blue screen of death.</p><p><a href="http://www.telegram.com/article/20130303/COLUMN81/103039964/1002/business">Keep reading...</a></p>
