@scottgawain well since im a programmer and sit behind my pc all day to work, id like it to just work too, thats why i left windows behind a couple of years ago... They do not know what usability means, and metro on the desktop is the proof of that...
@Mythix2 Most people care about school, email, work netflix, facebook and angry birds...not necessarily in that order. The idea behind metro is that people are more comfortable with aphone interface than a desktop now. Smartphone shipments surpassed PC shipments this year, and tablets are taking a chunk too. This is an attempt to combine the "work" interface into the phone interface. Windows is trying to embrace tablet PCs; a tablet that can be pc and toy. In a few years, we may all have that.
How well does this handle serious stuff like Blender/Maya/Adobe Creative Suite or games like Call of Duty?
I would imagine it would handle them well, but I have not seen anyone test it with them. I would like to try it if those programs work a lot better, but if they work about the same, I don't want to mess with the MetroUI
its for tablets not for computers. they shouldve just released it on the tablet and not made the real windows 8 come out until later, but microsoft is going to fast. apple actually takes time to make their next os better. Lion, though nothing has changed by much except for app store and other tweaks is still better.
The new Windows 8 Test does boot a lot faster than 7, but they should have the tiles or hobs, or whatever they call it as theme if you ask me. I like the old windows user interface and they should keep it that way. When I hit the start button, I want my menu to pop up no the tile screen. But they truly manage to run XBOX360 games on 8, I will upgrade my 7 system, otherwise I'll stick with 7. P.S. Xbox gaming on PC would not be such a great idea for Microsoft, consoles leave more money.
is it faster than windows 7 overall? is it better than windows 7? had you played any game on it?.if you player than tell me how was your experience compare to windows 7?PLZ REPLY
@TheGameActions Hello friend, thanks for watching, then Windows 8 Developer Preview is a version made about Windows 7, and it is a pre-beta version of the System. In general, Windows 8 is very fast, the system load and boot very much because the system starts up and back quickly from a hibernation, plus about 90% of the programs and games that run on Windows 7, will run more efficiently on Windows 8. We can only wait, for in January, Microsoft will announce the Beta version of the system.
close regedit, you get your old start menu......the catch is, no more metro UI because you just disabled it. To get back the Metro UI, change the value back to "1"
@joevmm So far had no trouble with compatibility, all the programs I installed, worked well. Only Windows 8 Developer Preview, is an unstable system, because it is a trial version, Pre-beta.
its a tablet..you would think with all that money they would come out with a kinects type laptop or desktop..and lose the mouse that apple made. or just something to add to the laptop or desktop like kinects..even UBUNTU. is better and its a free os. there i just gave ya something that will sell apple out.just sell it where everyone can buy it..
Microsoft please, metro UI looks like Tablets PC, please make UI like as Windows 7 :)
