Had to bite the bullet and get a new laptop this morning. My other one was slowing down badly, and finally wouldn't turn on today.
Running Windows 8 on here. What is the latest and greatest browser? Had google chrome forever, but wife said I should go try Firefox (I used it years ago). Tried loading the forum on Firefox, and when I logged in, it logged me back out as soon as I tried to click on 'view active topics'. Working fine now on Chrome.....

My buddy just got a Windows 8 laptop a couple of months ago. He is using firefox with no issues on his end. He is what I would consider a power user, a lot of proprietary software and high end graphics work. He likes the operating system a lot but hates the metro/tile interface. He got an app called Start 8 that brings the Windows 7 desktop back from start up which keeps him happy.

No thank you.

I fixed my log in issue, and am getting the hang of Winders 8. Pretty slick
