Why you guys hating on Windows 8 ? It's pretty much the same as Windows 7, it only has this Metro style "START" thingey.

Besides, my PC runs a lot faster, so does the internet, when Win 8 is installed, well, just a boot up time is a little bit pain in the ass, but waht do you expect, my computer is stuffed alright.

I installed it as well, startup times are less than 20 seconds, RAM usage is considerably lower PLUS it fixed the "mouse freeze bug" which i had in SA:MP. Framerate in IV:MP is also up to 40-50 which is awesome.

I'll be getting a copy of Windows 8 and a number of Microsoft products through my school, Such as: Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2012, Visual Studio Professional 2012 and 2010, and Also Visual Studio Express 2012 for Web and for Windows 8, SQL Server 2012, SQL Server 2008 R2 Developer, Windows Virtual PC 2007, SQL Server 2008 Express Edition, Microsoft Expression Studio 4 Ultimate, Kinect for Windows SDK, XNA Game Studio 4, Kudo Game Lab, Small Basic, Microsoft Mathematics 4, Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio, Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition, Windows Multipoint Mouse SDK, Winodws Embedded Standard 7, Windows Embedded CE 6.0, Visual Studio LightSwitch 2011, Visual Studio 2010 Express Edition, Visual Web Developer 2008 Express, Visual C# 2008 Express Edition, Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition, Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition, and many more...

Anyway, Windows 8 runs pretty good on my other hard drive. I wouldn't recommended it to a consumer quite yet though.

Consider a bowl of delicious ice cream.
This is Windows 7.

Then consider pouring on a large amount of minced beef.
That's metro.

Sure, the beef being there doesn't entirely ruin the ice cream.. but it definitely doesn't belong there, and does kinda mess up the dish as a whole.
In addition, the extra effort required to eat around the beef (which is slowly melting into your ice cream by this point) is pretty annoying.

If the ice cream is already good, why add the beef?

Let me get this straight, Windows 8 is better because it lowers the frame limit in games, loads faster too? I better get that!


Oh and, Will I lost my stuff if I upgarde? and is windows 8 available for purchase? or just downloading?  :roll:
