>A lot of the windows 8 sales are OEM which makes it look like they have a lot of sales, but a great number of users upgrade to windows 7 because of all the issues. Need to follow the alternate version rule.

My other PC is Windows 7. I'll have to wait for a while to see if the additional issues are coming back. The unlock Retry issue is gone. That is one thing that was causing a lot of problems. But, an important one came back again which is that SQL Server is putting my databases in recovery mode. That one is a major bug.
