I support peace in Israel and Palestine. The governments and people in power on all sides are an absolute disgrace, and their unwillingness to pursue peace is a disservice to the people they are meant to be serving. The status quo is not simply untenable; it is unquestionably unacceptable.

There's nothing wrong with 8...

Especially not 8.1

What do you not like about 8?

It's a mobile OS product that's barely for PCs to begin with.

I can work with essentially any OS. When it comes to a computer I like to work with Windows and OSX. For mobile devices I like iOS, Android, and Windows. But not BlackBerry OS :mad:

So you're making your opinion of 8 without having spent time with it?

i actually liked xt better then -7, but -7 came with the more powerful machine.
but then, i liked dos 5.5 with norton comander for a user interface and q-basic built in too.
if blender and auran trainz could have been ported to it, i might even still be using that combination.
running that on today's more powerful machines would be mind boggling.
truth isn't what i say. isn't what you say. isn't what anybody says. truth is what is there, when no one is saying anything.

One which is best suited for GPS, which I'm guessing is Android.

Nokia Windows Phones come with an excellent GPS, coupled with a really great free GPS app called Nokia Drive, which uses Navteq maps and is extremely accurate.
