[OPLINTECH] Windows 8

[Adam Murphy]

I'll be waiting for wider adoption. I've only had two patrons come in 
for help on Windows 8 this year. If I did any training for staff it 
would start with how to connect Win8 to our wi-fi and how to go from 
metro-to-desktop and back.

When I do the next round of PC upgrades (this year or next) I'll be 
sticking with Windows 7. I also have to wait for Envisionware to 
officially support Windows 8. And as Chad said it may be best to wait 
until after the 8.1 upgrade.
