  • can we comme back to windos 7

  • downloading the dev preview to run in virtualbox

  • I don't like most of the changes.

    But i'm not sure if i don't like the changes because they're worse, or if i just don't like them because they're different.

  • SPOILER ALERT

  • Great video but yeah you did come off as an Apple-head. Can it boot into the desktop interface instead of the 'screen full of gigantic icons' which is only usable on a phone? If I have to switch from unusable to usable UI every time I boot this will truly suck.

  • @glacia00 lol, an Apple-head. That's funny.

    It's too early to really answer those questions. The beta should be more customizable than this. But, if you just want to skip the Metro interface, then why install Windows 8 at all? There's absolutely /no/ point in Windows 8 unless you plan on using a touch device of some sort.

  • @thetecherra At some point Win8 will be the only Windows OS available so unless I'm going to jump ship to something even less desirable I'm eventually going to have to use it. I agree that Metro is not a desktop or laptop interface by any stretch of the imagination and since easily 99.9% of Win7 users are using it that way it begs the question what is MS thinking by excluding them.

  • I love how Windows 7 shut up Apple's gay comercials about Vista sucking.

  • he had porn on his Downloads Folder, thats why he quickly changed to his C: drive hehe

  • @lohisc CAN U SEE THE FOLDER IS EMPTY?

  • @mixkhh yeah i see, chill man i said it in a joking way, sorry if i offended you

  • new folder = ctrl+shift+N

  • Can the softwares running in window7 be installed/run normally in window8?

    I'm afraid that the softwares that i used to use in window7 cannot be installed in window8, such as AutoCAD, SAP2000, Robot Structure,....and some other old software versions.

    Is the current window8 stable yet? Does it have some bugs? Does it run faster than window7?

    Thanks for the review.

  • @KYVisothSambath Windows 8 isn't even out yet.

  • @KYVisothSambath If the software runs on Windows 7 it will also run on Windows 8, the current version is a developer preview.

  • If u desktop users are wondering why you should make the switch to windows 8, Here's why:

    Improved Windows Explorer, New Windows Store, Native USB 3.0, Native ISO Mounting software, Bitlocker for free, and uses HALF the memory of Windows 7.

  • @TheRAINMan059 Agreed. Although, I can't justify paying full price ($100+) for this. Maybe something like Snow Leopard pricing ($30). No more than $50 is what I'd pay. Actually, I don't care, since I get it through MSDNAA for free.

  • @thetecherra Lol, screw you

  • @TheRAINMan059 But a very poor interface for a desktop. None of the improvements are worth the pain of using an interface designed for a phone on a desktop. And most of will come to Win7 as downloads. Metro is designed as a compromise UI for a touchscreen where you don't have the fine control of a mouse or even a touchpad. Unless MS lets the user boot into the desktop mode and bypass the atrociously ugly Metro UI resistance will be significant.

  • i dont know if i can get used to it

  • One question have they got rid of the stupid obsessive UAC & Adminstration requests that windows 7 does at the moment.

  • @Timsalt3100 You can disable UAC in the Control Panel under System and Security.

  • Wooh I have the same memory ! at the same size it works great

  • Finder...? Just admit it, the Mac is your blood boy and you will just have to square with that someday.... :)

  • @aningishzida lol, even though I'm anti-Mac OSX in every possible way. Successful troll is successful, guess.

  • Do the complainers even watch the videos or are just hive minded? You can also use the normal desktop. The metro design is just the startup screen for quick acess to your favorite stuff. You can customize it so that it displays the programs that you want. If you dont like the metro start menu, go to the desktop portion. Its pretty much the same thing as 7, with some upgrades.

  • @Deansmilkful I watched it and it boots into Metro. My opinion is that Metro is tragically ugly and frankly it's more than just opinion that it isn't suited for a desktop just as a desktop UI isn't suited for a phone. Instead of tossing out insults why not try actually listening to the complaints... or better yet ignore them if you only want to hear your own opinion. Arguing that your opinion is better is simply childish.

  • windows 8 sucks, its even worst than Vista

  • @fredde165487 WRONG Windows 8 will be awsome!!!!!

  • hah that's windows 7 with stolen elements from Linux GUI ... nice job Mr.Gates !

  • I downloaded the ISO file and stored it into a 4GB flashdrive. Should I boot my laptop on the flashdrive?

  • FINDER, MUAHAHA.

  • is that developer tools? vesion

  • @123456hotwheels1 Read the title...

  • can u change to the win 8 desktop and use that for everyday use???

  • @thetecherra ok

  • I liked the video, you did a great job with what you had to show. But the OS looks uninteresting. Beside the Metro GUI (which I don't see a purpose for), I didn't see anything new in this OS. I love Win 7 and I will probably do what I did with Vista: Skip it.

  • the worst interface ever! -.-

  • very nice. I will put the windows 8 Developer Preview asap to find out myself. It's possible that most of the software I use on my windows 7 Enterprise OS will not work on the 8 DP; but we will see. Thanks for sharing!

  • lol. Just check this: gnome 3 shells(just search). Can not believe windows copied linux.It is same with different look(better look). Anyway, this is for tablets and phones, for desktops, widows 7 is way better. This will have the success that vista had (no success)

  • @khajvah1 i mean gnome shells is better, which you can costomize

  • Great video, I'm a Mac user. but i have to say that this video was very Informative, seeing that i use Windows 8 on VMWARE FUSION.

  • Requires 25 gigs?? Looks like I have to upgrade pfffffffffffffffffffffffffffff­ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff­fff

  • you have to go back to desktop to play a game or itunes?? wtf is the point of the stupid ass tiles apps if u can't do everything from there? esp just opening common programs.. seems retarded

  • You should train your mouse skills. You move it around WAY too much and make it almost impossible to follow your demo.

  • @taraobil Care to elaborate?

  • @chlova05 I see you've deleted your comment. Did you realize how stupdi you sounded and decided to remove it?

  • They should add a feature that allows you to hide all the new shit they've added. :) The new start menu would be cool if I had a £2000 touch screen but I don't so it sucks. :)

  • Wait a minute... maybe its just me (Old PC User) but i think they are trying to get rid of the ancient Mouse and keyboards altogether...lol And moving closer to touchscreen PCs

  • I am a True Windows Fan but Windows 8 "Start UI" is Only great for tablets...Why would we need tiles on our desktop PC's when its called WINDOWS! They should spend more time on fixing the major issues that has been kept them close(if not behind) to OS X. Like creating a "windows" Core Audio Architecture that's completely stable , Newer 64bit technology, fix Major Instability issues, Build a "Mature" looking environment, why is everything so square or rectangle. "where's the class in that"?

  • I got rid of my Windows Phone for a reason. Now I gotta look at it on my computer. How much did you get paid to by MS to make this vid?

  • @iBlasphemou5 Wasn't paid a single cent you jackass.

  • @thetecherra why do you need to be rude to people? He did not even offended you...

  • @iBlasphemou5 people who bitch at microsoft are just bitches that cant learn to use anything. Youve got period or something ?

  • i thought windows 8 gonna be awesome, but after watching this video i think i'm gonna stay with windows 7 & waiting till windows 9 comes out

  • Dont click on the Bill Gates Announces Windows 8 link Its Rick Roll

  • what sucks youl have to upgrade to windows 8 to support newer cpus and large memory amounts in newer pc builds to get the performance out of them. like the amd fx 8150 8 core cpu is supposed to run like 15-20% better on windows 8 because 7 doesnt support the 8 cpus fully. never wanted to upgrade from windos xp realy lol i loved xp. but it will not support newer hardware or read more than 4 gbs of ram. so had to buy win 7.but thats how they make money, you have to upgrade to newer os

  • most people with desk tops will only beable to use the desktop of it. the touch screen crap will not be used by most people. and most everyone is used to the desktop interface so much so that it feels unnatural to use something completely different. one thing i dont like is no cool desktop themes or back grounds. the desktop looks very dull. i loved windows xps desktop. dont know why they are making it look so plain a boreing now. you would think it have a realy cool 3d desk top or somthing

  • when u download windows 8 dev preview does it get rid of all the programs like itunes and office

  • @thethomasgarner1839 If you can't answer that yourself, then stay away from this stuff.

  • Comment removed

  • @thetecherra again, you are being rude to a guy who is probably a beginner in this Windows and PC stuff yet he must answer himself a question he does not knows yet and he kindly asks you for advice and you answer in a prepotent way..

    An advice: We were all noobs once making these types of questions, even you, the fact that you might be a pro on this now does means that you were always pro, as in anything in life. Cannot believe how needlessly rude you are to others. Lmao, you are not a genious.

  • @LilProveInn Yes, he did offend me. Perhaps you should read the comment more slower.

    I can't tell if you really spelled "genius" wrong on purpose or not...

    Look bud, if people can't answer these elementary-level questions themselves via some experimentation or research, then get off the computer. People expecting things to be handed to them like that are making the world a horrible place to be.

  • @thethomasgarner1839 the better is to download it in a HDD partition so your original Windows 7 remains untouched.

  • Looks like trash. I bet its going to be SO buggy on desktops and laptops. Not everyone wants a fucking tablet or a smartphone, Microsoft!!!!

  • looks like piece of sh...

    i will never upgrade to win8!!!

  • @R3sp3cT68 Hey everyone! Let's judge something by how it looks, rather than by how it functions when actually used!

  • @R3sp3cT68 I was like that then I had a look and I loved it after awhile :) why be angry to change? everything changes to we might as well embrace it rather than be mad at change :)

  • @R3sp3cT68 you will, or you will die. Lol funny because true

  • Apps are for phones, NOT computers. What was Microsoft thinking?

  • @GenMinion When properly implemented, I see nothing wrong with them on computers.

  • @thetecherra There IS nothing wrong with apps on computers...hey, the ipod is a computer if you want to put things in technical terms :P

  • This is actually exciting, we've had desktops, recycle bins and such for the past 20 years, MS is the only possible trendmaker making a leap - too bad some dimwits only try to find flaws in what seems to be an incredibly coherent system that'll span all ranges of devices (phone, PC, tablet, xbox) and might just be a hit. We'll wait and see.

  • @Orsonmoreson Most people still judge books by its cover, unfortunately.

  • so really it is just a huge change if you have a tablet. If you don't it is basically windows 7

  • This is the best demo yet, but I don't like it.

  • I downloaded the preview but nothing on my system could open it, it is bollocks

  • Your a fucking dumbshit. You cant complain about lag while you play crysis 2 on maximum settings if your running FUCKING WINDOWS 95. Seriously, I would rather have windows VISTA then spend one night with your stupid ass.

  • @Corvette35000 Me? I'M a dumbshit? That's quite hilarious, considering your English is poor, given your incorrect use of "your" multiple times.

  • @thetecherra Not you, some noob was complaining about getting 2 frames per second having a high quality game at maximum settings while he was running windows 95. Unbelievable right? As for the video, I think its good...but I'll stick with Windows 7 for now. :P

  • @thetecherra Lol you said "your" 3 times :P

    Besides, its the INTERNET. What do you expect?

    He wasn't even talking to you in the first place, he was talking to someone else. So yes, I kinda think you are. This isn't a classroom, its youtube. Got a problem with it?

  • @WindowsGamingXP @WindowsGamingXP YouTube*

    No, I don't have a problem with it at all. I /love/ seeing little ignorant fools such as yourself. But hey! On the bright side, we learned that you can count! Congratulations!

  • @thetecherra Yes, I can count! You want me to count how you put my name 2 times? Ok then. It must be easy to say all this to a computer screen, but most people are all just talk. Can't really call me a fool if you think people who are making a comment (in Corvette35000's case) that's not even directed to you IS being directed to you? Wow...and you call me ignorant, talk about thinking that everything is about you :/

  • @WindowsGamingXP Aren't you a bit hypocritical? YOU are getting involved in something that doesn't even remotely involve you either! Stupid.

  • @thetecherra Woah, someones getting mad! And yeah, it does involve me, BECAUSE IM THE SAME EXACT GUY. Just take a chill pill, and enjoy life. Its really not that hard man!

  • @WindowsGamingXP No, I'm not mad. You're providing the Internet with first-class entertainment! You trolls are funny.

  • @thetecherra Glad everyones enjoying it, I try:)

  • Oh please that make me wanna stay with windows 7. Why does Microsoft have to have the same metro like the Xbox and Phone, there the same shit and now desktop.

  • so by next year my phone, tablet and computer will all be the same.

  • the better have a Mozilla touch version cuz im not gonna deal with this piece of shit internet explorer

  • You need to have touchscreen to use win8, otherwise there is no point of having win8 instead of 7. I don't say you can't use it without touchscreen display, but it's more handy to use 7 if you don't want to spend money for touchscreen display

  • y u guys mad tho

  • @whydoyoucaresomuch thats what u call old geezers... they wanna stick to old years and wont agree to newer ones

  • 7:11 what???!! windows explorer looks like microsoft office..

  • I hope windows 8 could make me switch back to windows from os x

  • So when you gonna Login, first you need to pull up a fucking window, THEN TYPE IN THE PASSWORD!?!?!!?! What the fuck is this?

    Stupid shit. Oh, and btw, the whole Metro ass system look and feels like an ass.

  • Haters gonna hate

  • I installed win 8 developer preview on my 16gb laptop and i had 5gb of free space after installation and you have 20gb and you had 1.65 gb of space leftover how is that

  • I'm not like Windows Vista and up systems. I hate Windows 8.

    I love Windows eXPerience. :D Very speedly and very easy of use.

  • Comment removed

  • hey umm... can you please do a video about multi-boot

  • damn it Windows... HOW I SPOSE TO SHOW PEOPLE THAT WINDOWS IS GOOD NOW? looks like Android for tards... i am (sadly) dissapoint.

  • cool :)

  • Easier way to make a new folder: ctrl + shift + N

  • im sticking with windows 7

  • It's pronounced eeee-thernet

  • It looks different, but it seems like something I'd like. c:

  • Looks so horrible.

  • "FINDER"?!?!?!????!?!?!?!?!?!

    hahaha

  • it' fake, i can see the difference only in start icon.

  • Sorry... but... what it's that shit!!!... windows is windows!!!... isnt apple... windows 7 its 800% better than 8, 8 its a shit!!!

    Sorry... but its the realy...

    Sorry for my bad english...

  • I'm not paying 200+ bucks for windows for my damn Ipad. And seeing as how using a touch screen on my desktop is simply retarded, I give Windows 8 an F. Microsoft, stop trying to be Apple.

  • The biggest let down for me was the start up sound.

  • wft is this shittttttttttttttttttttttttttt­tt

  • Anyone else that find it a bit ironic that the first application he mentions is Apple iTunes?

  • Damn it, Microsoft. Creating an OS to run on a Computer and a Tablet all in one is a terrible idea... The new start menu makes me want to vomit. I think its great how it boots up faster, and takes up less processing power, but the UI almost makes me want to stay with 7. The idea of commercial operating systems being used for professional use to going out the door fast. Not that I am a professional myself, but I enjoy the professional feel of older Windows versions like XP.

  • @thatphatdude Totally agree. Changing my W7 theme to the classic Windows one.

  • @thatphatdude windows 8 only requires 4gb, for the 32bit version, this just means that hes allocated 20gbs to this virtual OS you dumb fuck

  • @3Target33 im sorry, what? your comment is totally irreverent to mine and you seem to be very angry about something that i said. the fact that i mentioned that it boots up faster and takes up less processing power is that i read from Microsoft that it will do so. i dont see how giving my opinion makes me a "dumb fuck." perhaps there was a bit of confusion? maybe we can sort things out.

  • @thatphatdude The boot up speed shown in this video is not real. I don't think the guy doing the demo realised it wasn't a true boot, only a restore from sleep. My Win7 box restores that fast, and if I let it do a normal sleep, it would close that fast. The real story won't be known until someone does a proper cold boot with antivirus, firewall, security and so on installed. Win7 will cold boot really fast if nothing is installed, but a few essential apps and it slows right down.

  • @thatphatdude this would be good on a touchscreen computer lol but not on a frikkin high quality monster desktop

  • @thatphatdude

    Well, I'm not sure what "professional" even means. When it comes to UI design there is really only one objective metric, and that is useability and ergonomics. Everything else is just opinion or "fashion", if you will. Don't get me wrong, design certainly can impact useability and ergonomics, but a lot just falls under preference and personal style.

  • @thatphatdude I totally agree, I am sticking with 7

  • Comment removed

  • 14 min en 50 sec are not 15 minutes I want my 15 min or my cash back !!

  • I think they should just change the desktop to be more windows 8ish ... It's just a windows 7 with a new start menu and that distracts me.

  • Seams like allot of clicking for doing simple stuff, thats bad.

    

  • 18GB after install!!! Ubuntu takes less than 1GB after install and have all the necessary functionality that a computer needs.

  • @TheThunderGod12 Windows has always been too bloated. XP is still the most lightweight (and at least "modern") version of Windows.

  • nice specs

    

  • It looks really amazing and cool, its new and will take some getting use to obiously. but(this is just my take on it) even though i was freaked out and pissed at first, after seeing all the new features and knowing i can still have everything i had in 7 and xp, just better and faster i started thinking of all the positives and negatives. truly i think its going to be amazing and i hope im right. Not going to buy it immediatly going to see how everyone else likes it first. Cant wait though:)

  • Going to get some getting use to but since il still have my desktop and everything seems to run well on it. As long as its faster and runs better than previous OS im good.

  • @StormrayVoice u mad brah?

    It wasn't bragging. Was just a simple go-over of the specs so people know what I'm running. Simple.

  • @thetecherra

    Nobody likes a brag-fag. My system shits on yours, but I'm not going to list the specs in detail like a fucking nerd job.

  • @StormrayVoice Ooh wow, you're so big and bad. Who's the bragger now, idiot? Simply saying "2600K" or "GTX 560" without giving more details is pointless. Go to school, idiot.

  • @thetecherra

    Get mad kid.

  • @StormrayVoice I'm not. You're the one who's made. Therefore, the "U MAD BRO?" thing has succeeded.

  • @thetecherra

    You're arguing with a troll on the internet. Anything you say is feudal as I won the moment you replied to my first comment, so shut the fuck up and go back to beating your meatstick over your shitty nvidia card. Bitch.

  • @StormrayVoice At least you've admitted your idiotic faults. Get back to me when you mature a bit.

  • @thetecherra

    I'll get back to you once you lose your virginity.

  • Comment removed

  • @DJMC5ive One thing that I've learned in making nearly 1,000 YouTube videos is that people don't look at the description that much, usually until after the video is over.

  • @thetecherra you can't argue with an illiterate.

  • @shoaebhameed I figured.

  • Comment removed

  • @thetecherra I have tried windows 8. I thought it was horrible and it ran slower than Vista

  • @StormrayVoice Fuck man chill out and enjoy the vid. If you don't like it then leave.

  • omg!! so many apps!!..i think i ll b lost when i use windows 8 :

  • Windows 8 makes users without touch screen to feel like second class citizens

  • @trueleowdeo i feel its almost more of a hassle if you dont have a tablet or touch screen

  • Ribbon Menu ? lol epic fail it nearly takes half the window wtf

  • i wish my computer was that nice

  • I want to have a pc, not a tablet....

  • No me gusta.

  • I think Windows 8 look awsome

  • so the first application you mention is itunes =)

  • The ribbon menu for explorer is fail cause it takes so much space.

    Simple and Minimalistic design is better.

  • Comment removed

  • UI looks good for a tablet. lolololz

  • Hmm.. Looks like it's going to fail

  • I doubt this touch screen interface will ever take off. Especially on laptops/pc's

  • how close those application from menu without using task manager?i cunt close those application while its running,theres no close button.

  • Microsoft 8 should use less memory and better optimization of the process. What I do not like about this is that it uses two desktop. .. I do not see the purpose other than for tablets!
