Windows 8
Hi all
just wondering if anyone else has obtained a copy of windows 8 and if so what are their opinions.

ive just installed it and am currently enjoying it though at first it annoyed me and i spose it may end up annoying me in the long run but we will see.

also to answer any questions about transfering from win 7 it keeps all programs settings etc and all have worked for me so far but i will update on what programs games etc dont work.

Re: Windows 8
The best comparison I have seen is looking at it like Vista against xp.

I really dislike how they made it all module based, And the fact that it's less user friendly then vista was at launch.

That's my 2 cents anyway.

Re: Windows 8
personally i think the ui would be great on a tablet or phone, no so much a desktop computer.

maybe one day we will have virtual screens etc, where something like that would be more useful

Re: Windows 8
^ That's what I actually thought Win8 was aimed at - tablets and phones. Maybe they're trying to slowly merge the two together, so that you have like a seemless portable -> desktop kinda thing?

Like how Macs integrate so well with iphones etc, and how gmail & google go so well with android phones.
