Is Windows 8 a good thing?

Posted by Serges LaRiviere on Sat, Mar 10, 2012

Dear Techie,

I have been hearing about Windows 8 being the next big thing from Microsoft.  From what has been said so far, it sounds like Windows 8 has a lot of change in store.  I remember how difficult some things were when I upgraded from Windows XP to Windows Vista.  What things are changing?

Sincerely.

Heya Techie,

Every time I put a CD or DVD into my media player program pops up.  How can I stop this from happening?  I want to be able to select what program opens what file.

Thanks,
