Windows 8 RTM 1 August 2012

Words cannot describe just how much I hate that Metro Interface. Yuck!
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.

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
