  • I have some experience with touch screens now with my Ipad. I have always been a person who values having a clean monitor or computer screen to look at; with touch screens- say hello to the smear fingerprint look all over your screen! No Thanks!

  • This just looks really annoying to use..

  • 585+me people know this is useless for pcs

  • I already didnt like vista, dont like windows 7, no way in hell would I ever want something like this. I shall stick with being a dinosaur and using XP. Even if it is old and not as "glamorous" it is a lot more reliable and simple to use.

  • @LivingInEnvy don't worry, MS will make you move to Win 8 (or at least Win 7) in future, message from past Win98 user

  • 582 people decided to buy a Mac

  • 2:03 WTF ?

  • Comment removed

  • Touch screen? I think i stick with windows 7. I can't play any fucking games with the touch screen.

  • that looks like an interesting os for tablets. are you guys still making an os for pcs?

  • Everyone who thinks that this is the only problem is a retard. For one, what IF I don't use a touch screen? "Oh, just disable it then." ok then, what if I don't WANT to have this program. "It shouldn't get in the way if it's disabled."

    The fact that it's there and comes DEFAULT WITH WINDOWS 8 just shows how much microsoft cares about strictly computer users. This isn't an iPad, it's an operating system. I had a touch screen windows 7 and I was happy with it.

    Stop trying to appeal to the lazy.

  • @RampageSkywalker The funny thing is that all we see from these videos from Microsoft is a presentation of the new interface and a lot of people start thinking that this will be the only interface of Windows 8. Which sounds and looks like a joke, of course.

  • I think I will stick with Win 7 for the time being, I don't see anything worth upgrading.

  • @Rampage skywalker If you are using the windows 8 DP right now you would know that you can NOT disable the new Metro UI, And It is a core part of the system.

  • Oh man, i remember buying windows computers. And i see why i stopped. They blow balls. And if you windows fans wanna stand up for your company thats cool. Stand up for people who give less then 2 shits about you. Its all about the money.

  • @senadmusic It's about the money at Apple, too. What kind of seller makes you give them a credit card number before you can see what they have for sale?

  • @senadmusic and you think apple cares about you. Little, insignificant you.

  • if windows 8 is touchscreen HOW THE FUCK WILL I PLAY ANY GAME LIKE SKYRIM OR CALL OF DUTY ????????!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @4444tomika your so dumb you blow my mind, think before you write something. its touch but you can still use a keyboard and mouse you tard, he said it like 9 times in the video alone.

  • @HugMyNutz

    who the fuck cares...its still a pile of garabage nobody gonna buy.

  • @4444tomika you're an idiot.

  • @4444tomika haha.. stupid kid!!! go play outside! haha

  • lol can microsoft stop being gay and give it a fucking name? how about Mojave

  • i'am runing windows 7 right now but this one sucks balls! it will fail so badly that microsoft will be forced to apologize for their shitty product!

  • @KaxiLaxi you got no idea what you are talking about.... Yes, the ui is as shitty as it can be so retards can use it *cough* mac users *cough* but since it can be disabled, it doesn't matter. But the real thing shining in windows 8 is performance that increased a hell lot more, opening the gate for new technologies to come in , for e.g. DX 11

  • this looks like shit, how the fuck will you be able to do hard tasks as games without 100GB of ddr1000 (current is 3) ram? 2x 6core 10ghz prosessors, and 1000000000th generation GPU's wit a video mem of 80GB? this OS just look retarded for anything else than surfing

  • they call it windows 8 and its a big mistake. people have completely different expectations when they hear windows 8. Not something that looks like Windows 7 but has a start screen ad onn...

  • what's the different between this and windows phone mango?

  • I am a huge windows fan, but this is crap! They just want everyone to need a windows phone and tablet to tie into windows. BS!

  • This looks horrible

  • the bigest windows thing ever xD

  • This is the biggest shit I have ever seen from Microsoft.

  • I think it's pretty cool so far, but when I went to change the Metro to the original start menu, it sent me this imprint on the desktop talking about bullshit and it didn't go away, plus it looked no different than Win7. So I turned the Metro back on. I wanna touch screen monitor so bad.

  • @RevRapidVagabond Plus I like Linux. I like to switch back and forth between Ubuntu and Windows depending on my needs at hand. Downloading torrents and burning dvds works better on Windows for me, but as far as viruses and quickness, I choose Linux.

  • fugly

  • While im completely ok to make an Os for touchscreens and smartphones, they should also work to improve the interface of windows 7 as well as performance (because some application even to this date don't work very well).

  • dont liek it sry i mean it looks a little blt i duno, not wat makes windows famous for. i my opinion i thik win 7 is alraedy fawless, so i think micro is out of ideas or something

  • the RTM verison will be in 2013, and beta will relased in january 2012

  • much copied from android???

  • Haters don't understand technology

  • This looks like a PC version of the New Xbox Experience. I hate it.

  • @Itsumopuppy do you know xbox is owned by microsoft? also the operating system is based on the windows...

  • this metro ui seems nice and it has nice dev potential im sick of icons lets move to blocks ;p

  • lol i love you windows =)

  • lol people are so dumb. it was so easy to understand i can switch between windows 7 interface and metro UI even for me, a poor brazillian monkey bastard.

  • Me no like dese wooden widows!

  • Me no like dese wooden widows!

  • BBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOO!!!!!

  • Oh no! Change!

  • I think I'll stick with windows 7 for some time, just like I stayed with XP until 7 came out.

  • i use a pc becasue its not like a tablet... i downt want this

  • @xUnriva13dxgaming Hey FAG! Read "RampageSkywalker" top rated comment!!!

  • so this is going to be the switch?

  • This great.. I have been wanting to switch to Linux OS but haven't gotten around to it. I guess that I have found a reason to finally make the switch

  • i've got the rainmeter set up, so it is basically a working build of it. it's functionality is fine, if they make it the way i'm using it, it should be quite dynamic

  • wtf windows 8 is touch. I'll stick with OSX LION the perfect OS

  • @AppleGnome LOL

  • i will never never ever install such thing !!!!

  • wtf !!!! this sucks ass ! im sticking to windows 7 ...

  • @FuZiionXD

    yes , but i guess your tablet will have win 8..

  • For those who are unaware, the new interface is called metro UI. You can disable it so Windows starts the same way as Windows 7. The new interface was created specifically for those who uses touch screens, to make it even easier to get around. Windows 8 will still look like Windows 7.

  • @RampageSkywalker And disable it I shall. Hell, I'll get into the registry and delete it if at all possible.

  • @RampageSkywalker Yeah, but then there's no reason to use get Windows 8. All they did with the Windows 8 desktop was change the design of the start button to a ugly looking grey box.

  • Who the fuck complained about the old interface?! This isn't Windows, it's simplified shit that is better off on a tablet. I'd rather get a Mac

  • Comment removed

  • holy that looks TERRIBLE

    doesn't seem functional for hardcore gaming or concentrated work

    idk, doesn't seem good

  • i not want windows 8

  • New Platform, a new life! I have so much crap on my computer that I probably won't even use for years. Way too much information to even have time to deal with it.

  • WHAT THE HELL

  • People shouldn't bash this until they actually try it for themselves. I think it looks pretty intuitive

  • @Unrea1Scripter Sorry, but I'm too busy working and spending time with other humans to worry about playing games 10+ hours a day.

  • Este windows es una porqueria

  • I hope the pc version wont be like that !

  • It's gonna be WEIRD

  • !!!! uglyy !!

  • This interface is only good for media center or smartphones!

  • This looks incredible. I cant wait. For all you whiners, Linux had its chance, but couldnt get the job done. Linux is all but dead except for some cults and .EDUs!

  • @leisenstein good luck playing any of your favorite multiplayer games without Linux servers!

  • i pray that this will be optional...it looks like they are trying to make windows more "user friendly"... which is great for the average user but not for us more advanced users. its very obvious that this interface is solely targeted at the average pc user. if this is where windows is headed in the future many may move to linux. (i know i would)

  • Wow. What a mess. Will stick to OS X Lion.

  • hey everybody if you think windows 8 sucks just dont buy it OK!! APPLE FANS AND LINUX FANS GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!!!!

  • @gil12gamepro1 How old are you? 5? Everybody has the right to comment, but with respect. You can't tell everybody to get out of here just because they don't like windows 8...

  • @7623690 ok steve jobs died

  • @gil12gamepro1 ahem i am a fan of both do i still have to

  • @yapboy09 no :)

  • @gil12gamepro1 nope -.- just becouse wee love apple does not mean wee not want to look at windows 8 -.-

  • @gil12gamepro1 and windows fans gets in our videos

  • If I wanted a phone interface I would use a phone. PCs arent meant to have massive touch screens. They are meant to have mice and keyboards. Touch screens are nice but not necessary. Same thing with 3D movies. ITS NOT WORTH IT. Even apple is doing this with osx lion. Lion is going to look more like the ios. Its sad to see all the really good interfaces turn to the shit that is on smartphones.

  • They aren't going to have Dolby sound on it. When they declined Dolby, Dolby's stocks dropped like 30%

  • Not really liking what i'm seeing, I thought we could just stick to the windows for a couple more years, that way, EVERYTHING doesn't have to be touch. I like the fact my phone is tough screen, and how i can use my screen to interact with my computer. It just looks like they're going a little too far.

  • Basicly they RIPPED OFF the MEEGO!

    so they took meego and changed the looks!

  • If I wanted that I would just get windows phone which looks bad, its more like a giant ipad..

  • It's a flipping start screen not the whole experience.

  • LOOKS TOO MUCH LIKE WINDOWS PHONE 7.

    btw, im switching to Linux.

  • lol it appears it's not too hard to have a top comment :D

  • Linux==Freedom to choose GUI

  • its just a skin u crybabies......

  • thats wat a phone is for not a pc

  • So bye Windows :) I think the era of Mac will soon begin :)

  • that purple screen annoys the fuck out of me

    

  • dude dont waist microsofts money, was that the few bad ideas

    can it even play fucking games. Thats the only reason i dont have a mac cause I'm a gamer

  • @CalenofRome it CAN run existing apps/software......

  • lol hmm no mouse and no keyboard, this is not gud for pc games and fuck u bill gates im keepin my windows 7 ultimate pro :P

  • Guys don't you realize, this comes first.

    then...

    POP! Windows App store! NO 3rd party apps. near-none free apps, replaced by shareware. The world will turn into a modified iPad with new os.

  • I see explorer has a tabbed interface; fine, good. I am highly skeptical of Windows 8's tablet optimised display to function well on a desktop PC; using a mouse/keyboard combo and removing icon interaction will be reductive to ergonomics; something MS should take note of. That being said; we could be moving away from traditional input. I am typing this on a pretty crap keyboard as we speak...but till we have Mass effect style haptic interfaces we're stuck with them.

  • Windows XP : PRO!

    Windows Vista : O God.. HOW FREAKING BAD!

    Windows 7 : I like the layoutm But the OS is not better as XP

    Windows 8: EPIC FAIL!

  • @Simlife3 Sorry, but Windows 7 surpassed Windows XP in everyway.

    Stop living in the past and upgrade.

  • @Simlife3 It's true but I wrote something like this

    Vista was good :) - WIndows 8 is worse all of the windows...

  • Is it me or this looks like Windows 7 just with an application loaded called "XBOX 360 Windows interface"?? :S

  • @Beudog120 Not exactly. But the design will be similar.

  • Comment removed

  • Windows 8: Now running on Windows Phone OS!

  • I'm gonna get a mac now.

  • @malletbjm totaly right this sucks hope that they make a version what is gaming simpleviet

  • this is terrible.

  • Nothing to be worried about yet, I guess, since the “Like\Dislike” ratio is below one. The world is not going madder than usual, it's just Microsoft.

  • Windows 8 sucks... the start screen looks so boring... id never gfet it!

  • that is a step backward when windows 7 was one forward ...so i thought the next windows will be awesome but now...it just looks like a multitude of phone screens stuck together ...or a tablet os

  • @PcGameHunter they are trying to tie all thier experiences (Zune, Windows, Xbox) into one similar looking experience, so if you go from one device (Zune) to another (Xbox), it will b familiar and the same. Fortunately for us, we can turn these settings off for a more traditional Windows experience. :)

  • by a copy of windows 8 for twice the price and get the second one for free !!

  • Why are they trying to turn pc into a xbox ?

  • Microsoft... you really confuse me. Windows was always great with its native style. Making it new will just cause a lost of users. please stay on the old style... i think i really get a mac if yoz do this

  • Hmm ... . Do you see a likeness to Unity?

  • Windows 360 would be a better name.

  • why does this video have so many dislikes..?

  • ah i love windows they cum up with new stuff at all times <:)

  • @spideymikey6 come*

  • I'm not going to buy this. It seems like a larger version of the Windows phone.

  • I bet most people who said they didn't like this interface when windows phone came out had never used it. It's really clever of Microsoft to bring out the same consistent metro interface on already popular platforms like Windows and Xbox. Eventually this will drive up the sales of windows phone and creates a real modern brand identity for Microsoft

  • I have a feeling that the metro UI would drive me crazy...... it looks too simple...

  • I don't mind this at all. I torrent this shit anyway.

  • can i play with that? just a question. ^_^

  • Windows 7 - Life Without Walls

    Windows 8 - Life without Windows

  • @bahamutzero00 No one forced you to upgrade

  • its all bullshit

  • <3 microsoft.

    no sarcasm intended either.

  • The new Mac Os X Lion just release and it's really cool. Apple is getting better than windows though

  • Thumbs of if you hate the friction on the finger when sliding it on a touch screen

  • Man, looks like the "Apple Experience". Flexibility and durability completely sucked out of it.

    3:06 gives me hope.

    I'm not digging the "tablet experience" for a desktop.

  • i think the best windows is xp

  • Oh God... this looks fucking terrible.

  • Ok. Guess im stickin to w7 then. Wtf is this crap?

  • you know, if this is true, I'll forever stick to my windows 7 ultimate, this seems to be a 180 degree turn to the worse :(

  • @helehole Same here bro i got a brand new PC with Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and it's Great :3 but after hearing from everyone about Windows 8 i will stay with my Windows 7 Ultimate forever i won't change the OS never cheers

  • @SRMTHFGLover1 nice to hear that I'm not the only one to stay with win 7 haha :)

  • @helehole You got that right my friend ^^ I'm glad I don't use Vista ... i had troubles with the Atikmdag error but i use my new PC :) and plus my GPU is Nvidia GeForce 9500GT :)

  • idiot

  • I like that you can go to regular Windows mode, since that would probably be used more than the rest of what I've seen just now...Looks awesome but could be only used to its potential IF you have a touchscreen monitor or a Windows tablet. Nuff said.

  • WOW.... this is going to SUCK!!!

  • wtf is this sht

  • Dude, this is Apple's Lion!! Who ripped off who?!

  • @xmcxmcxmc Actually Lion ripped off Linux Compiz. I can do all of that Lion features on my Linux box right now.

  • i think i will be going with mac os x

  • FUCK YOU

  • Uh... Windows? I thing we need to have a talk...

  • Dude, I have an iPhone for that stuff... Why the fuck do you want to kill off the PC? Whatever will happen to this fucked up Windows version, I'm staying with my 7.

  • I'm not sure if I'm liking what I'm seeing..

  • vomits.

  • Too many 'job'less mac users here.

  • NO

    

  • It's Easy to see the target User's for Windows 8..

    Bye Bye gamer Windows and hellow fancy, Ipad-like Windows 8.. :(

  • Windows is being optimized for tablet PC, but can be used with normal mouse and keyboard PCs too. I see Microsoft is following the trending market, making an environment optimized for current standards. But the bad I see in this is tablets are a trend for ultra portability, kind of like how netbooks were. I don't know many people who still want a netbook, so how will that soon play out for tablets? Whatever happened to the innovation that went into Windows XP?

  • ugly duckly

  • @916kyle Completely agree. They're far off if they think Windows 8, like it is right now, will sell. It's just a Windows 7 with a built in touchscreen system. You'd have to buy a touchscreen compatible computer for that, and a monitor, etc., it's useless. Now, if they make some kind of device like this Winpad you're mentioning, that's a completely different idea. Even though they're behind because of the new iOS 5, a "WinPad" would establish some competition.

  • @Diolocko Windows 7 could be used with a touchscreen indeed, but Windows 8 also has good touch support/integration in standard elements, like the explorer etc...
