provided of course you’ve had a ‘test-drive’…:)big changes are for Metro/Tablet interface… rest of us get peanuts.

I will be testing it that’s for sure…:D
I’m sure additional feedback will be forthcoming. -
Words cannot describe just how much I hate that Metro Interface. Yuck!

I think we’ve said similar things throughout windows updates since day one…:D

True enough Moles.
But Metro belongs on a mobile phone not a computer. :p -

I pretty much agree with you at first glance…I think it’s the predicted speed increases that interests me though ‘Lux’
can’t say I’m a fan of the gui at present but you can revert to current windows view I’m led to believe if you so wish.

According to the BBC the name Metro has been dropped.
Microsoft drops ‘Metro’ name for Windows 8 -

I believe the Metro Interface will work very nice on Tablets and Mobile Phones. I have Windows Phone 7.5 on my mobile and the Metro Gui works excellent.
The problem here is that Metro isn’t designed to be used with a keyboard and a mouse. I don’t understand how MS could come up with this idea of mixing two totally different GUI:s with each other.

they did it to make us (developers) develop for Metro… i think it was pretty bad decision myself but we will see i guess.

I hate Metro and cannot use it.
More seriously, 8 uses hibernation by default and the way MSoft has implemented it, leads to file corruption.

ha ha…
I hate Metro, too.
I cannot use it :confused::confused: -
The kicker is that MSoft is removing the desktop option AND making sure that those hacks that bring it back do not work.

I’ve read a lot about win8. Good and bad. I’m going to reserve my comments until I install the RTM version. I should have access to it on the 15th.

Well, I’m kinda nervous about PC gaming when it comes to Windows 8. Valve head honcho, Gabe Newell just called Windows 8 a catastrophe for the PC. This is a guy with an inside knowledge of Windows 8 capabilities and limitations.
I guess the biggest problem with Windows 8 is the fact that they want to create a similar ecosystem to Apple via an app store.
Well Valve is trying out Steam for Ubuntu just to make sure that PC gaming will still be viable in case Windows 8 goes belly up like Vista.

Oh my goodness…… I really thought people were bashing windows 8 for no reason. So far the only thing I like about it is IE10 the rest does not belong on a laptop or desktop.
IMO the UI is fugly!
90% of the default apps are useless (for my proposes). If fact the only one I found useful was the weather app.
And the 1 thing I dislike most is I had to activate the installation before I could start customizing. In fact it would not install without the product key.
I am definitely keeping win7 on my laptop and desktop!

worst part is that you cant login directly into Desktop… I wonder how long will that last ;-)

I cant believe that Microsoft has filled an DMCA notice to google to remove this thread from google search… I would guess official reason is Metro screenshot and real one is that few people expressed negativity about Metro… that is so freaking strange.
