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.​

Yeah I knew it came out but for now im sticking with windows 7
 
What are the differences? is it just like a service pack? I might get it...
 
i heard form someone (microsoft software tester) who had it already it sucks the fact they got rid of the home button he said it would be good if you hava a touch screen computer or a tablet but for a normal computer/ laptop windows 7 is better

but idk i havent seen so im not hating just wanna know if he was right?
 

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

98 was nothing special the only Windows os ( except for Win8 ) was 95
 
I think i'm going to stick with windows 7.
 
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.
 
I probably wont get it for now. I prefer my Windows 7.
