Sooo, got my hands on Windows 8

[Huntsman]

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.

Takes less ram than 7?

If it does then.. :hurray: :banana: :bow:

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.

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:
