Thread: Windows 8

  1. #1

    Default Windows 8

    Windows 8 is supposed to come out in September this year. it seems like Windows 7 just came out even though we've had it for 3 years now.

    I use a Mac and was considering getting Windows 8 as a dual operating system. I think it'd be cool and whatever I can't do now (program wise) I'd probably be able to!

    1. Should I get it when it comes out?
    2:Will you get it?
    If not, then why?


    Apparently, you can download a preview of it from microsoft.com now.

    I'm not getting it (ever) unless it gets good reviews.

    In general I dislike Microsoft's software. Just too many fails. (Though I haven't yet tried a Mac...)

    I plan on getting Windows 8.
    The OP will be significantly lighter, and easier to use via touchscreen (The future/at least) and other means of organization.
    People take fffoorrrreeevvveeerrrr to adjust to newer things introduced to our world, I would prefer to be a step ahead, even if it sucks.

    I dislike metro and the lack of so many features.
    If you want to contact me drop me a VM, PM or email. <clicky

    I've been using windows 8 consumer preview for almost three months now, and its pretty good. I don't really use much of the metro stuff, but that hasn't really been finished yet either, so there isn't much of a reason to. I will get the full version the day it comes out, and see what the final one is like.

    I'd rather stick to Windows 7 for these reasons:

    1) All the stuff on my computer is Windows 7 based and if I changed that it'd mess all my whole database.
    2) Windows 7 (in my opinion) is probably the best version of Windows yet.
    3) ...

    Meh, just has extra bells and whitsles (heh, that's expected) which I don't mind, but it's that I don't need Metro, as I don't think I'm going to get a touchscreen computer anytime soon.
    Windows 7 suited me fine.

    Was afraid I would derail if I said, "I'm sick of Microsoft, I'm using Linux now"
    You spoke some nice words there.

    i havent touched win8 since it was in its early beta. It was basically win7 without a start menu.. the start menu was an ulgy tablet looking home menu.. and it had some other little things but over all win8 was already going in the wrong direction.
