Guest RET.Maj.SKI=US= Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Is anyone running Windows 8 or at least tried the release preview? Does anyone else think it seems more like iOS on the iPad or iPhone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RET.LT.Padarom=US= Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 I tried it out in a Virtual Machine (unfortunately I wasn't able yet to install it from an USB-stick and I don't have a DVD burner) and I kind of like it. The metro screen needs getting used to, but after you found out what it is about, it is cool. I have an iPhone and iPad and I can't say it reminds me too much of these. As I'm using Win8 on a PC I can clearly differentiate it from a mobile device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RET.Maj.SKI=US= Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 I was thinking on more of how once you start an app it continues to run in the background until you kill it (at least that is the only way I can figure out how to do it). I have not installed any useful (programs I might use for work) software yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Faiakitsune Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Have tested it on my firewall comp,not enough /used for an opinion tough. My only worry is,that many game developers have said it's a useless piece of junk :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RET.GEN.Darmine Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 is it faster than Windows 7? Its Windows 7 with a metro interface and no start button. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RET.Maj.SKI=US= Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 is it faster than Windows 7? On my test laptop it actually is slower. :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tacun Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 From my experience it runs faster than 7. There is a fair amount of changes and optimization behind the scenes, and tends to require a lot less memory to run. Once you are past the metro interface though its very similar to 7 with some really nice windows explorer improvements as well as the task manager.

Guest Snapptastic Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Is anyone running Windows 8 or at least tried the release preview? Does anyone else think it seems more like iOS on the iPad or iPhone? Yes, that is the problem that most everyone has with it. I know that I WILL NOT be switching to this POS operating system. My favorite of all-time is XP and if they would refurnish that, I would have that back in a heartbeat. Windows 8 looks like it's going to fail harder than Vista. It looks completely like a touchscreen interface.. Not something someone would use with a mouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
