Plus i got improved performance (about 20-35% depending on the game). So i would say it is an upgrade from Windows 7. Plus this version actually supports multimonitors natively to some extend xD </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=5593#post-31883 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 11:12:58 +0000 Yoshi 31883@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>My friend installed it and we looked over it via me watching his screen :)</p> <p>We both came to the same conclusion... it's shit for PC. You can see it was designed solely for touch screens, which is fine but that doesn't mean they market it as the next big upgrade. It's just win7 with a touch screen menu.</p> <p>p.s Also the fact that you have to use a messenger account to login is shocking </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=5593#post-31828 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 10:46:49 +0000 phineusbright247 31828@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>wow!! i watched the video on Microsoft's website.....it is so awesome.....i loved it....perhaps it will help Microsoft regain spotlight .....my be to some extent....</p> <p>_________________<br /> recent bollywood news @ buntybubly.com </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=5593#post-31794 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 09:24:06 +0000 CyberMarco 31794@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>@Christopher Jack, I hope so. Another good thing about windows 8 is the boot time. Combined with an SSD drive your system shuts down in less than 5secs. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=5593#post-31790 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 01:19:03 +0000 Talkar 31790@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>There was in the dev preview, i'm sure it is still there:<br /> <a href="http://www.mstechpages.com/2011/09/14/disable-metro-in-windows-8-developer-preview/" rel="nofollow">http://www.mstechpages.com/2011/09/14/disable-metro-in-windows-8-developer-preview/</a> </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=5593#post-31789 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 00:52:00 +0000 Christopher Jack 31789@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>All I know is the default Windows desktop is there &amp; I believe there are options to disable the Metro theme. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=5593#post-31786 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 20:07:36 +0000 Erthazus 31786@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>@Kabby, i think after installation there will be a choice with more of the traditional desktop and that shitty touch screen UI.</p> <p>If they won't do that, than they are doomed more than when they released Windows Vista. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=5593#post-31784 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 14:57:37 +0000 Kabby 31784@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>They need to give people the option to NOT use the stupid touch screen ui on a desktop machine. It's not hard to do and it's obvious this issue is just going to annoy users for no reason. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=5593#post-31783 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 14:03:30 +0000 Anonymous 31783@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>all windows OS sucks </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=5593#post-31647 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 11:02:57 +0000 Gheritt White 31647@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>It's a shame, because Windows 7 is such a great OS, and that's coming from a life-long Mac user. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=5593#post-31646 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 00:45:49 +0000 freedoms_stain 31646@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>The captcha is there because before it was there we were removing dozens of spam entries per day.

Wouldn't it be enough to have users entering a captcha when they are registering? </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=5593#post-31629 Sat, 24 Mar 2012 13:22:33 +0000 CyberMarco 31629@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>Well, maybe I had a rough start. There were some things that I really liked, like the new enhanced task manager and the window-merging thing when you copy multiple files.</p> <p>But there were some major flaws, like dragging the whole window from the top to the bottom to close it, or the way you change from one open window/folder/app to another from the left side of the screen. I was searching for about 15 min to find a way to put My documents in the metro-style start menu, but no success. Maybe it's just a matter of time till I get used to it.</p> <p>It would be more useful (for me at least) if Microsoft had made two versions, one for tablets and one for pc's.</p> <p>P.S. Dear VG24/7 why do I have to type that irritating captcha box every time I want to post a reply? Isn't the account that I have more than enough to validate me as a human person and not as a spam-bot? </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=5593#post-31627 Sat, 24 Mar 2012 13:00:01 +0000 Talkar 31627@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>I've tried it out for a couple of weeks now, and i started off like you, just hating it. But once i got into it, it actually seemed pretty OK. Plus my computers performance in SC2 and SWTOR increased by about 20-30%! Which is pretty damn awesome.<br /> I want to add that Microsoft has released a document, showing some of the most used shortcuts in Windows 8.<br /> <a href="https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=2ee8d462a8f365a0&amp;id=2EE8D462A8F365A0%21141" rel="nofollow">https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=2ee8d462a8f365a0&amp;id=2EE8D462A8F365A0%21141</a> </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=5593#post-31625 Sat, 24 Mar 2012 11:56:03 +0000 CyberMarco 31625@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>Hello everybody, I just installed Windows 8 Consumer Preview on my PC and I can say that it SUCKS!</p> <p>I can't see how this OS can work with computers when it's obviously built for touch-enabled devices like tablets. I find it very difficult to navigate from screen to screen and to do simple task as opening My Documents folder, changing settings from the Control Panel and what not.</p> <p>I don't think I'll be jumping on the Windows 8 wagon, even if my university provides me free Microsoft software (like Windows XP-Vista-7 etc...).</p> <p>What do you think? </p>
