WOW! it is not actually going to look like that. It is just the developer's preview. It is using the touch screen version of the start menu because they have not come up with one yet.. Once the beta comes out (March) it will look completely different. It does have a desktop that you can go through on the touch screen menu.....
@0902studios Looking at this video I agree. Frankly they could, and should have changed windows significantly more. But I don't think it's anywhere near the final product (thank god). However Microsoft should really take great care in making sure this isn't what Windows 8 is like. The whole start bar and UI needs a change for one. Come to think of it they need to go back to their design roots and make something along the lines of XP and Windows 98. Vista and onwards has sucked.
@orisjack dont be sore cos i can afford a real computer ;) no need for hostility... its ok to be angry cos ur computer is riddled with viruses and you have to defrag every year or two. just buy a mac and ur rage will disappear my friend. microsoft are fighting the losing battle they have nothing to offer anymore hence the balance starting to shift :D
@PeroxStudio think bout it, thats the last thing to happen, they still have windows 7.....and thats what laptops will still have and windows 8 can also be used with a mouse
@UploadingPeople the only good thing about windows 8 is 16 bit app support the bads is the menu screen(change that and there might be n option for selling) but this is the way it went windows 3.1 good windows 95 not so good windows 98 awesome windows me not so good windows xp awesome windows vista sucked windows 7 good windows 8 see a trend?
no se... me parece que ha perdido el nombre de Windows y deberian ponerle Screens o algo asi jaja de todas formas me gusta su estilo minimalista pero... hay algo que no me convence...
I'm absolutely fond of the new Windows 8. People will hate though because of all its swishness, but people are forgetting you can turn these features off - or just not use them? Plus people need to learn that they don't have to use Windows 8 if they want performance. Windows XP and 7 are still supported, aren't they?!
Ok so as far as I can tell the actual system performance of OS win8 is really good, uses way less resources and the os is based on HTML5 and java script? Ether way as all that goes the system is good, it just sucks the the overall design is.. lame, I do have naive hope that they'll do something about it.
this just makes work with several tabs/programs at the same time ...well anoying, what the hell did they spent there time and money on =___= if it was just the visuals they at least could have made them better instead of some ipad/android phone app..thingy
I hate this new single app crap that is being shoved down are mouth. Ubuntu Iphone fedora android and now windows even. I remember 4 years ago we were being told multi tasking was in. We needed firefox for tabed browsing and should get dual core cpus. Computers were going forward. Now they are taking a long step back into Hypeville.
lo odio, todo eso ya lo he visto en Linux y Mac OS........ lo que le falta a microsoft para hacer un buen SO es ¡ESCUCHAR A LOS CHINGADOS USUARIOS! por que creen que las distros linux quedan tan bien? por que escuchan a los usuarios y cualquiera puede cooperar con algo para mejorarlo no como los pedantes de mocosoft con su hasefroch
Since Vista, Microsoft has started to make really really bad decisions.
One said it correctly, Microsoft is now indeed building Windows OSs literally for morons - for those, who like phones with touchscreens, "It's easier to use".
Sadly, 86% of human pop on this planet are all mentally retarded - they were born without IQ. And so, MS doesn't give a fuck anymore about people, who want professionalism from OSs instead of "can be used by people with IQ of 0 and less". Sad, sad..
@TheKnightSolaris In the discussion about Windows 8, they stated that a major hindrance with Windows was not fully making use of the accelerated graphics card in the computers. They decided for Windows 8 to make use of the system entirely and that is why it looks nicer. The performance shouldn't be lost at all.
@TheKnightSolaris ever heard of something called a user friendly ui ? The point is to make something that contains options and functionality for advanced users, whilst remaining accessible to novice users, and novice users make up the vast majority, and novice users like things to be pretty. You can turn off all these visual styles, go back to the windows 1995 ui if you want, so dont complain, besides you want performance, get the most out of your own system, MS just have to make sure you can.
@TheKnightSolaris im running a phenom quad core, 2.6GHz (cant remember what cache), 4GB RAM, with an nvidia geforce, approx. 2GB. I dont knock any of the visual effects down, the OS only gave me a 5.9 rating, and i dont have any issues at all with speed, maybe somethings up with your rig man, or your talking shit to try and prove a point
@TheKnightSolaris Windows 8 suspends the application when it's not the active window, so it takes 0% memory, and because half of the images are way simpler then the rest, it runs faster because it doesn't need too show as many complex images.
@jusje13 There are already a few versions of windows. The original versions are
MS-DOS related like 1 2 and 3 . Those are discontinued. The next versions were 9x versions like 95 and 98. They are also discontinued. Afterwards, they have NT versions like nt 2000 xp vista and 7 and the future windows 8. nt and 2000 are discontinued. there are also servers including server 2003 2008 2008r2 and the future server 8. none are discontinued. last of all there are windows ce., no...zero charact
@RaphaniacZX No, i know the answer now. Its because the net book res is 1024x600 and they say you need a 1024x768 res screen or higher, which to me is so stupid. It works on a cell phone and not on a netbook? that is just not right. Micro$oft needs to fix this fast.
@TakingShapeCreations Well, whathever reason it be, i will repeat this, is a Developer Preview, this developer preview is not more than a pre-beta, if it dont works that's perfectly normal as if a lot of other things dont work right now, for right now, if works in a tablet is because they work in the moment on it, but it will take a longer time to work in anything, also it doesnt work in a cell phone, works in a tablet with a higher res, but works in a cellphone processor
