Going off on tangents here really considering blogging about repairing / rebuilding an Acer Aspire iDea 500/500 however just installed the MaximumPC Online App on my Windows 8 rig. (Search for MaximumPC Online in the Windows 8 Store). Look and feel of this is very good in all fairness. Not convinced that Windows 8 is more appealing over Windows 7 however haven't used the OS enough to make reasonable comparisons to be honest.
