Windows 8

[paul]

Windows 8 came out a few hours ago and I just bought a copy of it. I recommend you guys should to. It's only $40.00 if you already have a version of Windows XP, Vista or Win7 installed.​

I like it better than Win7, yes its annoying not having a start button but its not terrible.

 

[Devour]

he said theres like 4 tabs on the side? how r those

 

[Phantom]

Yeah it looks like it's more for touch screen PCs or tablets.
I'll be sticking with Windows 7 for now since it's much more practical.

Just watched a couple reviews. Most people said it was bad and horrible. You have to click a tab or app to bring up your desktop. Lol

 

[Particles]

it is designed for touch-screen units primarily yes but you can switch it into desktop mode so you get a start button.
but it's all app and widget based to make it quicker

 

[paul]

In reality its much faster switching between programs and such than windows 7. Also the new Microsoft store is great.

its only 40.00 because its a piece of shit lol (it looks cool yes but its virus prone etc.)

Windows 8 has the best security than any other windows os.

 

[Beats]

How about programs? Like does it run programs made to run on older OS?

Yes it's up to the programs company to make it compatible with it .

 

[Cypher]

Looks amazing, I might torrent it.

98 was nothing special the only Windows os ( except for Win8 ) was 95

 

[Living]

I think i'm going to stick with windows 7.

 

[iRed]

I'm temped to buy it, I've even seen a review on Youtube showing that it handles games better to where the reviewers got something like 10+ more FPS by switching, it doesn't concern me much being that I've built a new $3k beast PC.

My only thing is, is that I have over 1tb in games, programs, etc. And I reckon some things are going to end up incompatible.

 

[Cops]

I probably wont get it for now. I prefer my Windows 7.
