Jestermeister Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 Looks cool. Definitely much different than W7. I'm not a huge OS-info-expert so I don't really have much to contribute to the whole W8 thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazmarr Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 I don't like windows 8, purely for the fact that it was built for touch screen devices. From what I've seen, the menus and all that are horrible. I'm going to be sticking with my windows 7 even though it has UAC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elite Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 I remember calling WinV "LoseVista". Windows 8 is focused on enhancing touch screen technology (more money). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complete Loser Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 Lets hope that Microsoft has gone out of there way and made it EVEN BETTER then Windows 7 because Windows 7 is a friggin AWESOME monster of innovation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victory Element Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 well, xbox 720 is suppossed to run on a windows 8 system. so i can assume it will be good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bossk Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 It seems good, but the whole time I couldn't tell if it was a tablet or not. It seems really neat, but only for people who want a touch-screen computer or something. I like the Xbox and Windows Phone software, but I don't want that for my computer. I plan on getting the tablet for something portable to replace my laptop, but when I get my new gaming desktop I want Windows 7 as of now. I can't say it's bad, just prioritized for touch screen, which I don't want on my PC, I want it on tablets/phones and it works for Xbox fine. If I ever get a chance to try it for free or something and have the ability to switch back to Windows 7 then I will, but it doesn't look like something I would want to buy, just something to try out; it hardly looks like it would work with a non-touchscreen computer, but I can't say it's "bad".

SykoWolf Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Touch screen tech is the way off the future, so i guess microsoft is planning for the future. But i still agree that Windows 8 wont help me much at this point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Biggles Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Considering Windows 8 is still in beta stage, this looks really good , Windows 7 Was good, but Windows 8 just has way better features that make it look much much better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 This OS is bad, there is nothing new for the normal user, just stuff for the touch screen pc user. The metro app crap is a method of lockdown to make sure we use Microsoft's apps and such. Stick with Windows 7 until Windows 9 comes out, Microsoft follows a pattern, Every 2nd OS is bad, Win 95 good, XP good, 7 good, 9 good and so on. Even Gabe newbell doesn't like it, you can trust him, he gave us Steam. I had Win 8 from March 12th to August 5th. Reverted back to Windows 7. Don't get Windows 8. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention how they are going the same way as Apple by discouraging Internet downloads and encouraging the built in game store which features size limits and a required 2 second start time for all apps which means that you could never buy a AAA game from it's store. So, Umbuntu anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Wade Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 It's pretty stupid I mean since its in beta it sucks if you like programs I guarantee you all 70% of that c*#$ wouldn't work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that you should stick with Windows 7, however Ubuntu has recently been revamped, and is now more usible for the likes of the average pc user. So if you need a free operating system, use Ubuntu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huh, that's cool, I've had Ubuntu for a few years now but just never bothered with it, it always asks what I want when i boot up, Windows 7 all the way!

Sarge Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 it looks like one of those things that could either be a huge hit or just flop. 1000th reply in the Microsoft category Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admiral bunny Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Always been a PC guy just never got into Mac. I do agree with Sarge that it will either be awesome or a waste. Im hoping that it will be awseome for I will buy it when it comes out to upgrade and because they are making it cheaper then usual which is also a bonus.

Gambit Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 I agree that you should stick with Windows 7, however Ubuntu has recently been revamped, and is now more usible for the likes of the average pc user. So if you need a free operating system, use Ubuntu. Ubuntu is hardly usable for the average users. Not only I have printer issues with Ubuntu, but a lot of the software I run is only available on Windows (To name a few: Adobe Photoshop Elements 10, SnagIt, PowerDirector 10 Ultra, and PowerArchiver 2012) and using Wine severely diminishes the performance any software that I use. The quality of the Linux software (including free ones) are a joke compared to their Windows counterparts, especially the proprietary commercial ones. Not to mention that gaming support on Linux is abysmal and it is a poor platform for HTPC (Linux shot itself in the foot by not implementing HDCP support). Linux is not without its uses (works great on servers), but for a box I use for both work purposes and entertainment, Ubuntu just isn't a credible replacement. Even Linux zealots would advise against switching to Ubuntu or any distros for the reasons stated above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViperSRT3g Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 Tried out the developer preview for Windows 8 and I must say, for an OS that originated as a regular desktop computer OS, the ease-of-use for tablets is pretty nice. And it still has the ability to switch back to the normal looking desktop we all know and love about Windows. I'm still awaiting the API changes that may have resulted of the new OS and it's new features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Fhaol Bhig Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 I hate Windows. I love Windows 8. Go figure. I'm not using a touchscreen laptop either. But I just love it regardless. My computer goes from dead cold, to desktop in 11 seconds. Super Fast and I haven't run into any serious bugs or glitches (I am running a virtual computer) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
