Thanks for that Rayna.
I think I'll take a trip to Currys/PC world and spend an hour or so 'playing'.

I'm leaning towards just spending the £50 on Win8 and sticking it on a virtual machine to see what happens and how it performs.
Well if my wife can spend that on a pair of shoes and not wear them from November until now surely I can do the same with computer software
