Do post an actual amount

Windows 7 would use up 70-80% when running the usual software including SA:MP, TeamSpeak, Skype, a browser open, Filezilla open, Putty open.

With roughly the same software, Windows 8 uses only 46%.

Had checked out the 'beta' version, seems all okay, haven't played around with W8 a huge amount yet.
Some of the social media "interactiveness" is quite cool; something that's featuring universally on all sorts of things from portable devices to desktop computers.

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.
That's a lot of software man, are you sure you are going to need all of that?

Waiting for my drivers to be up for Windows 8, then will consider upgrading. Or will the windows 7 drivers work for Windows 8 as well?

Why do I still use XP?
I believe they allow a direct upgrade from WinXP to Win8. :)

Waiting for my drivers to be up for Windows 8, then will consider upgrading. Or will the windows 7 drivers work for Windows 8 as well?
On both my upgraded and clean install systems, I haven't seen any issues at all, and some of the drivers are Windows 7 ones. For the most part, the Windows 8 Upgrade Assistant built into the downloadable version of Windows 8 which runs before purchasing it is very kind in telling you what is and isn't compatible, and how to deal with it. If it's not, they link you to an updated version that is. If one isn't available, it asks you to uninstall it, which Windows 8 was kind enough to remind me to reinstall it later after I upgraded my other computer.

Please note though guys: Although it is possible to install a clean copy via burning the ISO to media, which is one of the options, if you have a 64-Bit capable system and you run the Windows 8 Upgrade Assistant in a 32-Bit OS, you will be getting a 32-Bit-only ISO. I made this unfortunate mistake thinking the ISO would carry both versions with an option to choose on capable systems, but apparently it doesn't. If you are stuck in this odd situation like I was, you're better off ordering the disc that truly contains both. :)

SugarD is right, most of the Windows 7 drivers are plug and play on Windows 8. Have actually seen some games perform better under Windows 8 when it comes to framerate and stability, like GTA IV.. :hurray:

I used Windows 8 on an the PC of an acquaintance of mine, and it worked pretty nice. The other day, I heard someone saying that VC/SA/IV:MP screenshots couldn't be saved using it, is that a fact?
