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.
I guess this is why I’m being followed whenever I’m out somewhere

No time for testing, my 1 yr old keeps me busy busy busy. :-)
Learn from my experience. Place youngster in rocking chair near PC. Rock the chair with one food and keep your hands free for computer work. You have no excuses:).

I register only so I can add my 2 cent about this DMCA take down nonsense.
1-I hope someone will sue the $hit out of Micro$oft for perverting the DMCA in a weapon to impose dictatorial censorship.
2- Windows 8 WILL so badly, epically and miserably fail on desktop in general, and in the corporate sector specifically, that it will most certainly be fatal to Micro$oft. OK, not fatal, but very debilitating.
3- Metro interface on desktop is a fcking plague. A disease. An affliction. A cancer. A motherfcking virulent and purulent infection. Something that need to amputated. To be disinfected. To be incinerated. To be eradicated.
PS: F*UCK YOU, Micro$oft.
PS2: SUE ME!!!Ramon

Hi Guys,
NGOHQ.com also received a DMCA takedown notice from Microsoft (to Google) for hosting Windows 8 RTM screenshots. Our forum users (including myself) also criticized Metro (or modern UI or whatever they call it now).

Cheers,

NGOHQ.com has a very healthy attitude to this type of thing. nVidia tried this on with them a while back. Luckily, Israeli law prevails. Tain gaz!

and who knows how many did that dont use Google’s webmasters tool and never actually saw the notice or knew about it.
wouldnt be a lot easier for MS to fix those problems that people are referring to?

Wait a minute…. I just realized I didn’t post any screen shots of win8 rtm or am I losing my mind? I remember posting some elsewhere but not here.
Cool… I think I’m done with MS, if I can’t discuss new software openly, technet is useless. So when they call next year to renew my subscription, I’ll refuse with a quote from Ramon Zarat! :D

there is no reason for takedown except to remove negative comments from google search engine…
Wow…… That’s hIlarious!

Just found out this forum is finally getting the attention it deserves.
But getting back on topic. I installed w8 rtm on a new sdd. It now twice as fast as my win7 was. With a cold boot i’m in windows in 6 seconds.
I can pause my copy actions. USB3 is supported out of the box. I do like the start screen but it takes a few hours to get used to.
The only thing is that ms have to make it a little better when using the mouse. But thats it.

New Win8 desktop theme sure looks depressing though, all those gray windows… while on the other hand Metro is so flashy.
Did you like Aero better or Win8 gray?

Aero does look at bit flashier.
But it’s not bothering me. It sometimes looks even better. Firefox for instance.

i am running it in VM and it still looks to me like I have disabled hardware acceleration :-).
