  • Im trying it... On an Asus. :3

  • Just wait for the next one guys. Windows has a pattern of having shit prototypes that the sell as full products, just like Vista and just like Windows 2000.

  • Oh Microsoft, Why? Having actually used this preview... Its horrible. Its like vista had a bastard child with OSX.

  • dear god it sucks so hard....

  • looks like crap to me, another vista fiasco.

  • Comment removed

  • I could watch all of your videos and never get bored.

  • People need more power to use a huge touch screen. Because mouse can do lot better if you use a huge monitor for touch. You have to move you hand all over the screen which is not a problem for hand held device. But for this, I don't think its gonna work. It will be a flop to Android and iOS

  • This is...bad....

  • looks like you would need to do an extra steps just to get same result you would of on vista or windows 7

  • YES this is fucking HORRIBLE for desktops but guys think about how nice it could be for tablets that's what this is meant for XD... because windows 7 WAS HORRIBLE for touch screen where as windows 8 will be an improvement and it shifts between android and windows 8 on tablets

  • I think I'll just stay with windows 7, no need to fix something that isn't broken.. -.-

  • .........so basically windows wants desktops to be giant smart phones?

    ..looks really fuckin stupid.

  • I'm about to try 8 on some random desktop I really want to see how it does if you only use a mouse and keyboard.

  • Windows XP > Great

    Windows Vista > Trash

    Windows 7 > Great

    Windows 8 > Fail

    Windows 9 > ?

  • Yeah right,i am waiting for Windows 9(or however they are going to name it).

  • 6:06 , and if you are rendering a video for example...

  • sorry MS, but there are also people who don't have a touch screen..... And i don't like touch.

  • It isn't designed specifically for Tablets. It has the functionality for tablets, so Microsoft didn't have to go through and make a standalone OS for each device. Mouse and keyboard will work as normal, and gestures (a guess) are more than likely enabled/disabled through the Control Panel. This is nothing like XP to Vista. That was a completely different interface. Vista to W7 was awesome, they improved on what Vista was lacking. I'd imagine the same from W7 to W8.

  • so what about the people who dont enjoy fingerprints on their screen?

  • looks soooo stupid

  • with all this tech from MS...they still can't make Internet Explorer get closer to Chrome's performance...

  • Windows 8 on a tablet makes sense. Some guy mentioned down a bit that "gestures" make Windows 8 insanely fast. Well gestures aren't going to do much for people who still use a mouse and keyboard. I like that there's an option to have the button back for those who want it.

  • Comment removed

  • I'de rather microsoft make an OS that's really really really good instead of bullshit tablet pc rubbish

  • I am just wondering when window 8 is being released , does people need to buy a new desktop or laptop for compatibility? Since it looks like a touch screen thing??

  • tablets cant replace desktops so why is Microsoft putting a tablet/phone os on desktops? ill just save up for a mac at this point, fuck Microsoft, windows pisses me off every time i try to use it for anything but online anyway!

  • @888pineapple888 yea i'm seriously considering diving into linux (seriously diving in) for the first time. Ubuntu's been on dual boot with my vista forever on here but hell with these constant learning curves I can just stay with ubuntu learn the OS one time and just get used to the kernel updates.

  • you will never peel the mouse and keyboard from my hands :P but looks great tho. I will definitely buy when it comes out

  • tabby tab tab tabs apps tabbies tabs

  • This is vista all over again...

    just my view

  • Its a good marketing idea but not good for the consumer. It is too much change, too soon. I invested in a top of the line laptop years ago running Vista and have had no problems. Performance isn't an issue for me (except for gaming graphics but then again what can you do its a laptop). I was going to "simplify" and upgrade to W7 but I never did. Now I knew it was too late anyway because MS was just going to come out with something to make that outdated.

    haha sure nuff, here it is!

  • @keyofdavid888 I think this is much easier than the transition from DOS to Windows

  • Windows 7 is better

  • Wins

  • Looks like it will take up quite a bit of your PC's resources, I personally would probably have no problem but people with Intel pentium's etc would probably not be able to run it well

  • Yeah Asus, copy Apple.

  • @alinthebest 0:41 Problem?

  • Windows 8 will be the same disaster for MS like Vista

  • Problem is that many functions are now requiring the use of the Metro interface, so if you hate Metro (like me) you're better off keeping Windows 7.

  • awwwwwh im so dissipointed in windows 8... I guess i have to stick with windows 7..

  • microsoft is always coming up with something to get people to spend more money they don't really have. their is nothing wrong with windows 7. i love with windows 7. don't need to buy something new cause it may look better or do more things but you know what? who cares. its so hard keeping up with technology these days. i'm not going to rush out and buy something i don't really need. shoot, i would be happy talking about up coming products if i know i am getting paid for it...

  • i wish i had enghof money to buy it when it comes out i only have 6 dollars

  • @sirgath Now maybe Media Center won't suck.

  • why is windows 8 turning into a kiddies/fun touchscreen OS? What was wrong with windows 7? nothing, why did microsoft have to make it into a tablet OS on a pc....silly

  • Ill wait til its fully pirated and updatable.

  • Gotta love the way americans speak.... azeus.... lmao

  • @VoidIfinite He's Canadian. I say it as Ehsuhs. If that spelling it out makes sense. lol

  • @VoidIfinite he's canadian

    

  • I hate this shit. What's wrong with mouse and keyboard people. Is everyone expected to buy some shitty pressure screen aio pc now?

  • sorry, but that i'll just stick with windows the way it bean and everyone knows. fair enough it was on a mobie but on a pc... ummm... i dont think it will work. it would be too slow to change from one thing to another if its what it looks or just trying to find things.

  • Comment removed

  • Guys, but you can't say it sucks without trying...

  • I installed the consumer Preview the day it came out and AMD video driver wont install even though it says its for windows 8. sucks.. Win7 is to good to leave right now... Will wait and then upgrade when all the good updates come out.

  • I always have the monitors 2 or 3 feet away from my face. I don't like to have a monitor too near so I'm not interesting in the slightest to this touchscreen thing. This is just a gimmick to sell more monitors.

  • @TheMasterofganja I'm still using Vista and I'm fine with it. I never had any problem with it. Maybe it's because I installed Vista on a brand new PC with the latest drivers for all my components.

  • I've always like new Windows version until now. This Windwos 8 looks aweful; definitely not for me. I'll stick with the good old fashion keyboard and mouse way and won't be updating.

  • @canuck21 keyboard and mouse are included with every computer basically, its just the screen that is touch screen. you arent forced to use the touch screen you know haha :)

  • oh no! windows is turning into mac

  • Bye bye iPad 3 n Android ICS tablet coz Windows 8 will be in Tablet so Adobe Collection CS5 can be install lol plus Flash movie online weeeee errmmmm Someone will get burning I think lol

  • The hell is this monstrosity?

  • Ewwwwwwwwwwwwww!! WTF? It looks like a bigass Windows phone

  • I prefer Windows 7 because it works better for me,this definently looks Cool and interesting.Good video,and stfu haters.

  • someone is jealous for apple...

  • this looks fucking stupid

  • OH GOOD! I thought the ENTIRE Windows 8 was made of "user friendly buttons!" THANK GOD

  • dont give a crap about touch screen on my PC jsut saying i would never use it. but i cant wait tell windows 8 comes out

  • i think ill buy a new pc. remove windows 8. go buy windows 7 and load it

  • I want to see Google Chrome turn into a full blown OS to compete with Windows.

  • @im1greatman google has its own os, but they havent released it yet...hahaha look it up!

  • linux ftw :D

  • I wanna make speculations and look retarded on the internet too, can you guys teach me how its done?

    Nvm, I think I figured it out.

  • no one cares about this. I need a job.

  • Why is he talking about the hardware of this PC when this is supposed to be about windows 8...

  • So it's learning to be more like mac :L

  • Mouse & Keyboard, touch, stick with one and stop trying to do everything!

  • A ui change is not a new operating system essentially were gonna pay money for just a pretty look to our system and an "easier" way to open apps. I'll keep my money on windows 7.

  • @foxfan12345 It is highly likely that 8 will be more optimised than 7. Also, who said you needed to pay for it? :P

  • This looks fucking Retarded.

  • What is this guy... oh it's IE

  • @TheMasterofganja You have a good point in that most people that bitch about Vista never used it or if they did, they did so early on when there were still driver issues and software incompatibilities. By the time people moved to 7, those driver and software issues had been resolved. So naturally, it was a better experience.

    However, Vista did have a few legitimate problems that were fixed in 7. Most of the differences are to the underlying system. The user experience didn't change a whole lot.

  • @TheMasterofganja true but they fixed the problems vista had. I used a 64bit version of vista and had problems with it. I know its based on its os but Windows 7 is much better.I also got about a 30% increase in gaming performance with win7 and it runs better overall

  • i really don't see the metro interface working out.

  • I'll use this only for Xbox Live and Xbox 360 gaming, I really need to play SoulCalibur V.

  • SWIPER NO SWIPING!

  • W8 users are gonna have HUGE right biceps, mouse keyboard touchscreen mouse keyboard touchscreen!

  • im staying with windows 7

    im not in for all that touch screen bullshit its useless for me as i am a gamer and want pin point acuuracy which is only possible with mouse!

  • I'm content with W7 Ultimate. W8 Looks dumb and useless.

  • I want a desktop like Vista and 7 had/has

  • I'm staying with XP until it is no longer supported.

  • @shittakewarrior999

    Only have a couple more years, unfortunately.

  • @shittakewarrior999 2 more years and it loses support

    seriously windows xp is 10 years old and doesnt even support DX11 or DX10

  • People only see the touch interface. The full release of Windows 8 will have a Windows 7 mode that is gonna work just like Windows 7. The overall change would be that Windows 8 is more stable and has higher optimalization for newer hardware.

    I'm definatly looking forward to the full version of Windows 8.

  • Well this windows 8 is gonna certainly mark my full conversion to Linux

  • windows 8 is a major fuckin downgrade from windows 7! shit im staying with windows 7 ultimate. FUCK YOU WINDOWS 8

  • the worst fucking concept in the fucking dumb universe

  • Windows 8 *, Ballmer what were you thinking of

  • I just hope it runs stable and with good performance in gaming etc, just don't care if it is beautiful... I use Win7 with Win2k theme ;p

  • Yuck! I'll stick with Windows 7.

  • @maximas69 +100500 agree. windows 7 is best for desktop for now.

  • Windows 8==D

  • WINDOWS SHOULD JUST FOCUS ON FUCKING PC. EVERY VERSION OF WINDOWS PAST XP IS FUCKING SHIT.

  • @BulletsForMyLove96 ...even though thats how they even built up their way to get up to what they have now... you're basically saying that they should have made what we have now in windows seven say ten years ago.

  • @gunraykilla The only thing im saying is like... can they just focus on making one thing good before moving on? ive had to re install windows around 7 times because of random shit going wrong on my 1,000$ gaming rig

  • Great presentation

  • Mac wannabe  !!!!!!!!

  • It is nothing but a tablet OS. It seems all of the OS or WM or DE are moving to a tablet style interface. Laziness, mostly. They want one size fits all but I think they will find it's a bad move. I doubt any business is asking for this type of interface. I mean who is asking for it? Are we complaining about how our computers work? I think most Windoze users would like an OS that is secure, and that works for them the way they want/need. I honest thought this was a joke the first time I saw it.

  • WTF Asus try to make its computers look like apple

    imac mba -_-

  • @GICTechTV Macs are terrible anyhow. ASUS make extreme motherboards which is good for performance.

  • i like the task manager they should put thermal control to, temperatures and fan controls

  • well looks like im sticking with win 7 Ultimate ;P

  • @MINKIBIZ  yup me toooo :D

  • Windows 8 just kill the windows family. It is by far the ugliest operating system in the history of windows.

  • It's no good no good man >.< MICROSOFT what were you thinking???!!

  • Comment removed

  • Looks like shit.

  • Anyone who tell's me that isn't a copy off the iMac is either lying or joking.

  • when he opened Internet Explorer i was like; crash.

  • It's not Asoos its Asus.

  • it's gonna suck (I think), gonna try it though.

  • windows sux.. crashes all the time

  • I don't think this will be good for gamers, it looks like is more suited for tablets

  • @Xonnaxis You still get your desktop, under an app in your start menu. It should work just fine.

  • @Xonnaxis

    IT will be same shit for gamers as windows 7 is..

  • @pufixas windows 7 isnt shit for gamers......

  • @klote2314

    I didnt say that windows 7 is shit... I'm using it right now...

    I'm saying that it will be same shit as windows 8 (sarcasm)

  • @Xonnaxis Honestly, I think this fixation on touchscreen interfaces is a step back for computing in general. I have never wished for a touchscreen on my computer whereas whenever I use a touch device I'm constantly craving to use a mouse/keyboard.

  • @Xonnaxis dont worry , you can have windows 8 just like windows 7 now with the start button and such

  • @Xonnaxis Android killer?

  • @JoseMartin1532 never. maybe a bit of competition but not a killer... androids been around way too long....

  • @JuTjubJeSranje yeah we will see, nothing is sure yet in the tablet market...

  • yay a touchscreen os for a desktop pc... wtf

  • is this better than samsung or nec ? led lcd monitor?

  • Last XP v22 USB for gamer full hit!

  • I don't see any reason to change OS's

  • Windows xp GOOD / Windows Vista SHIT / Windows 7 GOOD / Windows 8 ........

  • @Hypertraxable Windows 8....... Retarded xD

  • @Hypertraxable i spy a trend

  • @Hypertraxable It's gotta be shit though, I mean they do a good OS every other one.

    It's just their pattern.

  • @Hypertraxable

    Ok ITS OLD "JOKE"!

    Shut the fuck up,

  • @pufixas Doesn't matter, had joke :fuckyea:

  • @Hypertraxable Windows 8 is good because it can be ran on:

    x86/x86-64

    Intel Core Series(Core 2, i3, i5, i7)

    AMD Phenom (x ii, x iii, x iv, x vi)

    ARM32/64

    TI OMAP 4 Series(44xx, 46xx) 1.7Ghz 32 Bit

    TI OMAP 5 Series(553x) 2-4Ghz 64 Bit

    Snapdragon HiPerformance(1.5-1.8Ghz) 32 Bit

    All ARM use less then 4 watts

  • @Justinba1010 wtf did i just read. Windows 8 is still under process you cant tell wether its good or bad now. Though you can take a geuss. My gues its shit. since my windows 7 also runs x86-64

  • @Hypertraxable Windows 2000 SHIT

  • does windows 8 work in LCD monitor?

  • @xXDMS2k11Xx Yeah,but he is just showing how it works on a touch display. :)

  • @stefan161190 but my LCD monitor has no touch screen,..

  • @xXDMS2k11Xx I thought if it works on desktop pc,you need special touch screen. You LCD monitor won't do.

  • @xXDMS2k11Xx DUH!!!!! thats why you buy windows LOL

  • i dont like it -__-

  • MINECRAFT PD???????? 2:44

  • I can't weight for the consumer preview. I so want to check it out.

  • Fuck win get some good linux dustribution

  • I have to punch the monitor when windows 8 will crash?

  • fuck windows 8 sort out windows 7 first

  • Windows Vista 2 yey!

  • looks cool!

  • @LxBzs Cool. You obviously don't know how to read so please don't post any more comments on Youtube.

  • Horrible design, also nice and wobbly.

  • i HATE the idea of a tablet like interface on a desktop OS. Sure have it there and have the ability to turn it on for tablet or touch screen devices but you should be able to turn it off completely and revert to the windows 7 look and feel. That is why windows 8 is a no-go for me, if i buy a device that comes with windows 8 and its not touch or is a desktop then its coming STRAIGHT off and is being replaced with windows 7 or xp or linux.

  • @ImRecordingThis This is just the metro UI which will probably be used only on tablets and touch screen devices. Win8 looks just like Win7, normal desktop with taskbar and icons

  • @RavenousSky He compared the base of it. You're obviously a fanboy.

  • I seriously hate Macs and everything Apple, but that thing looks like a shoddy computer compared to some of the smooth aluminum stuff you would see on a Mac. I wish they could be PCs and 100% aluminum

  • SRSLY who is buying those android aps? you can get them all for free on the internet.

  • Looks cool but I'm gonna go jerk off and then get dinner

  • I just hope windows is not going to keep its old policy on used ram is wasted ram because now I am running only one explorer white 90% use of the ram

  • I never got touch screens, how can you sit back in your chair or do ANYTHING with a touch screen? such a dumb idea

  • @xXxDANMANxXx How can you sit there and not listen and understand a single thing from this video?
