[TheMichaelRN]

[TheMichaelRN]

windows 9 FTW!

[Quicken2k]

I don't like the new Interface I'd stick with the old way if I used Windows 8. I watched your video because I'm considering switching to an Imac. Wanted to know what limitations bootcamp has (I'm a gamer from time to time). Thanks for the video though.

[EamonnDoylePhotoFilm]

2:01 green screen

[showerladdy]

It's a Lil Cracky, windows has no clue. But they got money, give then another 5 years to try it again. Shame, this metro shit is so lame.

[km2177CHARGERS]

When does it come out for everyone ruffly

[JstoutR9889]

i cant wait for windows8! Mac users probably might agree, because windows is making a major change to whereas mac stays very similar with each of its updates where windows progressivley changes its option and features

[yeahitsernesto]

im so bored with mac, i would totally get a windows 8 machine but i need logic other programs -_- AND my friggin hard drive is completely full so i cant boot camp URG

[Jadamog]

it's because your black

[Jadamog]

See, there's gonna be comedy here :)

[georgepotter428]

Your vid is popular on Massachusetts

[aric0913]

Such a nice video to watch complete with black jokes! So excited to load it on my mac! You're funny dude

[Dr904]

Its like giving a healthy person aids?

[mudbay77]

True*

[mudbay77]

[itostrong923v]

This video went viral on El Salvador

[MrTommynerd100]

[groyal980]

You said ur twitter password.

[WeirdoTheater]

Ignoring the content of the video, did you really film this at 4 in the morning? :P

[PixelHex]

[TheGreensmith]

"I think it's cos I'm black"

[DillPo313]

The key to exit an app is the windows key.

[davvvideos]

Do you like google chrome?

[TommyBNSF]

Is that an older iMac on the right?

[ikerules241]

Hi Lamar! I am new to mac. I just got a iMac 21.5 inch and an Intel Core i5 Quad Core 2.50GHz. But it only has 500GB's of HDD space. I don't have a second HardDrive. I have a 2-year old PC with Windows 7 Ultimate. It has 750GB of HDD space. But it has a Intel Pentium Dual Core Processor 2.70GHz. I need to get Windows 7 on Bootcamp because I need exe files (lol) but I don't know if its worth it. Please Help!

[maw88ify]

Linux actually had an app-store before Apple did it was called " CNR / Click & Run " created by Linspire Linux . Most ideas people claim that Apple created really was in Linux , and BSD before Apple .

[azure401]

Soldier knows best did a windows 8 review too...... he also said "i don't know what this is" when he was talking about the alarms -.-

[sausje999]

I always like the end song :)

[sausje999]

Can't wait till Apple make Touch Screen iMac's :)

[cookieyy]

@sausje999 they won't anytime soon.

[messinwithairsoft]

THAT LOOKED GOOD!

[sohigh10]

Why does windows 8 look so good on a mac

[SWkazashi]

@Wilsontech1 : 0:01 did you just make a dragon age : origins reference?

[SpazSpazzAndSpazer]

also that desktop in that build is TOTALY pointless it's stod all there it's just a way to get to a file manager -.- unless we get a full version of the desktop then there gonna piss off a LOT of people.

[SpazSpazzAndSpazer]

if you go via desktop top view you can get normal desktop ie, not that touch screen shit... XD

[winmac2565]

LOL, I chose to run Windows Vista in Parallels on my Mac over Windows 7!!!!!!! Everything runs better on a Mac!! :)

[Acerfan2010]

I lol'd at 3:15

But damn Windows 8 looks nice so far.

[Kerpaltheballer]

how long does this developer preview stay valid if i choose to partition my mac?

[lunertexcosmo]

I actually like Windows 8. The Metro UI is great for just getting stuff done and is very snazzy but I still like my standard task bar and windows. And the App store should be great, Was wandering when MS would put one in. My only complaint is how the explorer window options are almost EXACTLY like the one from MS Office which I never really liked to begin with so there's that. It's all around great but it still has a long way to come.

[satointl]

Hey I'm about to use bootcamp to partition my mac to install Windows 7 just for fun..... Should I install Windows 8 and just wait for it's release?

[satointl]

Hey I'm about to use bootcamp to partition my mac to install Windows 7 just for fun..... Should I install Windows 8 and just wait for it's release?

[AnarchyEngineer]

Meh. I prefer Windows Vista's/7's Start menu. It's cleaner and isn't fancy. The metro is all fine and dandy but I'd just turn it off....

[wemakepies]

The keystroke is: ctrl and Esc. Please show this to him cause he doesn't know it.

[carlosmashiado2]

lol IS CALLED METROSEXUAL NOW!!! windows 8 with the metrosexual funcionalities lol

[WeirdoTheater]

Psst.... You can hit the Windows key/Command key to go back :o

[kekambas79]

Can someone explain "bootcamp." I have an old pc that I would like to install win 8 on. Can I download the os then burn on disc to install on my old pc? Thanks!

[dany55655]

@kekambas79 dont worry about bootcamp if ur on a pc

[satointl]

@kekambas79 Bootcamp is for Mac lol. And it just depends on your old PC's specs...

[crazynuthead9985]

I am not getting Windows 8 unless it is like Windows 7... If I wanted an OS to do everything for me, I WOULD BUY A MAC. I like having problems with my Windows, BECAUSE I CAN FIX IT. Hell, sometimes I BREAK my PC, just to fix it.

[crazynuthead9985]

hahahahaha, Windows hates mac machines xD

[warex3d]

i'm a power user and i really like windows 8. I installed on Dell Inspiron and run pretty well.

[TwentyEightySeven]

Its called metro because its based on the subway system signage.

[TechGuyTuts]

Being a programmer and all I do like the desktop but If I were to use the internet, twitter G+ ect ect, I would definitely use the metro screen

[xRubbaDubDubx]

Thank you for the preview :)

[Theowest]

You got that painting there from IKEA. fuck yeah.

[Hypernerdwithcam]

your camera is racist

[Hypernerdwithcam]

your camera is racist

[FilmTrailersChannel]

Looks nice and pretty on the outside, but still the same crap on the inside... When Will Microsoft begin to create instead of rehashing old tech.

[nick92065]

I tried it. Too much new stuff to learn someone at Microsoft needs to be fired it is such a major fail and to complicated older users will go bat crazy trying to figure it out. Stick with 7.

[THEGAMINGRULER]

idk the windows is eather has to be built for the PC OR THE MOBILE DEVICE I DONT THINK THIS IS GOING TO WORK AT LEAST FOR OUR GENERATION

[iravehxcc]

"I just put it in" O.O

[srseffingbznss]

Everything Microsoft is putting out is starting to look identical to the Zune HD software. I love it :D

[Slendertouch]

@srseffingbznss absolutely love zune, simple and effective :) although the market place is a dump, they can work on that later

[4628JP]

Wait, are you filming at 4 AM?

[DavidH373]

I'm trying it on my Dell Inspiron Duo (flip/touch screen netbook). If it works well I will certainly get the upgrade. For my desktops however, I hate how the UI works. They need to have a switch that isn't the start button, because that is what windows with a mouse revolves around.

[ishred130]

You have to right click on mouse to get menus

[patsfan12189]

do a tutorial on how to put it on a computer! and i personally prefer the windows 7 desktop..im just used to it since ive been using it for awile

[kiwi20069]

your second monitor looked like another iMac for the 1st part

[TheTimica12]

Hmm... I want that coke!!!!!!!!

[Worfox13]

What's going to happen with Firefox/Chrome in Windows 8 ? O_o with the metro ui.

[bat2won]

Wilson inside of any of the Windows 8 programs just RIGHT CLICK and you will get a screen to edit that program. W8 also works Good in Virtual Box.

[pugNdrum]

lol click on CC next to the quality and click on the top thing that pops up and see what google thinks he is saying :D

[xTRIGGER092x]

@pugNdrum Lol, "sexual Disney"

[westsan]

You're too funny!

[atrain6118]

I was able to run in this in a VM using Oracles VirtualBox. I set it up telling it that I was using a Windows7 install and it worked with no problems. The only issue is that it would display fully on my external monitor which is weird. When I try to connect it to a 'projector', it says "Your computer cannot use an external display". Not sure if that is just a limitation of the developer edition or not.

[atrain6118]

@atrain6118 FYI, i'm using Mac os x lion

[nycmac247]

With Lion boot camp is helps you create a disk with Mac drivers that you then load after installation of Windows (from within Windows). Can anyone tell me if, when installing W8 DP in Lion if it is smart to install these drivers? Or just install Windows and leave the Mac drivers off?

[iFunkMasterJ]

Not sure if anyone else has posted this, but ... I found if you install Flash, YouTube only works if you go to the "Desktop" then Internet Explorer, it doesn't seem to work if you access Internet Explorer from the Metro screen.

[vroomvroomvj6789]

duude y do u hide the can?

[Zafrondude3000]

VISTA FTW

[rickaistechtalk1]

How did you get wifi to work??

[bigdima3]

This guy is FAR better than Soldier Knows Best. . .

[WATSONMUTH]

i have the same problem it does not work with vm ware

[monkeyape456]

Lots of hand movements :p

[mssamanthalin]

*That happened to my windows 8, I download it on vaulturalbox and the tile won't work

[mssamanthalin]

That happened to my windows 8, I download it on vaultural

[kmyfantasy]

This video cleared up couple things. They basically just changed the traditional Start menu into this new metro interface. Applications are arranged in tiles instead of list of folders. The main screen is also this metro interface instead of the old desktop screen. Now, I have a question. How do you multitask? Do you still go into the old desktop view to do so?

[quilldot]

you press the command button (which windows recognizes as the window/start button) and you go back to the start screen

[Epic125e]

Is this the guy from the miracle whip commercial?

[Chub2296]

AFter i download it how do i burn it on cd?

[aragon2235]

Is he hiding a soda behind the computer? Lol

[Techblogger14]

You didn't put 'review' in the tags!

[waterfariy1]

@AlexWpz brought me here! ^_^

[outlandishfilms]

That windows 8 is so metro.

[linkinpain]

i thought he hated macs/apple o.O

[rbxjm2]

You're pretty!

[stevensj13]

could you install and run minecraft? and google chrome?

[DevinShoe]

I am for one who likes to have lots of windows open at once, and I mean I like to have a video in one corner, Tor in another, and my browser covering most of the screen. Windows 8's new way of lockin in apps together on the screen is kind of cool but are they completely getting rid of the actual "windows" and just going for full screen apps?

[radtwelve]

imma sub to you but please stay funny or get funnier

[radtwelve]

lol at "OMG internet explorer" ...

[rubbadubbaducky]

" OMG INTERNET EXPLORER O.O "

[TheGudZeBadAnDaFozzy]

WINDOWS 8! For gods sake I've ONLY just got windows 7 :(

[MasterHackintosh]

@TheGudZeBadAnDaFozzy It's all good man, There are many alpha and beta builds to come before Microsoft wan't you to move from 7 ;)

[MilanKragujevic]

try html5 on ie

[chltmdwp]

i'm a power user and i love the metro design!

[projectcrazy12]

lol internet explorer is /b/

[PatrickDSimpson]

I tried installing the 64 bit version using Boot Camp on my new 13" MBP but it asked for an activation key to install Windows 8. What version did you install - 64 bit or 32 bit? And did it ask you for a key?

I'm going to try the 32 bit version instead.

[GreenisSoSexii]

I see yerr cocacola(:

[frankixbox]

hey is the white loading bar in youtube gone?

[ClaassenTech]

Hey Lamarr, I don't think that is operating system that you are showing off

[NoIceOnParadise]

theres a coke can behind your mac

[TheMoose2010]

@NoIceOnParadise hey. he was hiding that! no need to point it out

[MrLeftyGuitarist]

They're tiles ha

[meaghanrachel]

NO WINDOWs 7 IS BOSSSSSSSSSS

[Themightyfinder1]

@meaghanrachel

no, windows 7 is BSOD.

[sporkafife]

So at the core, it's a slightly updated Windows 7 with a touch screen interface slapped on top...

*sarcastic claps* well done Microsoft.

[Ticomfreak]

Tiles!

[russjr08]

@WilsonTech1 I want to thank you for not ranting on the new interface :) I can't tell you how many people have ranted about it...

[superwheel10]

WHY did you put that soda can behind your computer?

[russjr08]

The virtual machine problem is from the screen resolution not being high enough most likely.

[Dell0304]

You know, I don't really like that Windows is now like this. I think that the Windows 7 start menu is way better. I don't know, I'm just used to the original Windows desktop. I could only see that Metro thing being used on touch/portable devices.

[Dell0304]

You know, I don't really like that Windows is now like this. I think that the Windows 7 start menu is way better. I don't know, I'm just used to the original Windows desktop. I could only see that Metro thing being used on touch/portable devices.

[10TheGunsofBrixt]

Wilsontech, how did you do it when you said "my password is" my power went out?

[thefuf99]

For tablets this is great! But are there any improvement to the classic desktop part of the OS?

[Samputator]

Im not sure about windows 8, it kinda looks like a pc running a tablet's operating system. And whilst it looks pretty nice, it feels untidy. If i had it i'd probably just use the normal desktop and occasionally use the other mode. But i think i'll just keep my money and stick with 7 :P

[sheepnote]

You filmed this at 4 AM?

[def95]

I like Windows 8 , Tiles make everything look clean and nice, and you guys still have the desktop so there is no reason to not like windows 8, The only problem is there's not that much apps for metro UI, not even for MSN, I'd like to use Metro more but since there is not that much apps I can use I guess I have to stick to desktop

[Bakari8886]

Good Review!

I thought Winows8 completely did away with the traditional desktop view

Glad that's cleared up

[Jredgrave128]

Microsoft Need to Learn This

WINDOWS IS NOT A TABLET OS

[RewinDxGameS]

@Jredgrave128 it is now... this looks really good for a tablet...

[camerongray1515]

The problem I find is that even set to the other interface - You still have to go to the metro interface to actually launch installed applications unless you want to fill your taskbar or desktop with shortcuts.

[andyman8662]

Lamar if you turn off auto white balance then you won't be as dark or lighter black. it was what was on your screen that was messing with it.

[DeltaPhi79]

Looks pretty cool.

[THEFREAK4498]

>new windows 8

>open internet explorer

>download firefox

[roberson644]

Ive been playing around with Win8 today and... I dont love it. But i really like that Microsoft is trying to change windows. They are heading in the right direction but it needs some work. I dont like the visual style they're going for... I like Smooth edges and shading =/, So it would be great if they had some more options for that.

[misstaramcmahon]

it looks alright, i might give it a go but ive been a mac user for such a long time now..

[SanderLeopard]

The film is darker because you're black!? YOU RACIST

[TheTechism]

As you could see the things you opened up are apps and that functions exactly like the launch pad on a mac, it is not anything new, a step behind sorry Microsoft!

[jonathonwallen]

Ok so, it's basically Windows 7 with tiles and better touch capabilities. They couldn't just push this to Windows 7 as a service pack? Oh well, I see no reason to upgrade from Windows 7 to 8 at this point or to change my mind about a Mac being the next computer I buy.

[man444utd]

@jonathonwallen Nope, this will be a huge upgrade, in fact the biggest overhaul Windows has gotten since Vista, this is a whole new direction Microsoft are going, in fact when using Windows 8 it's using Metro most of the time. The old Windows is just there as a backup for people who need it. Also have you tested it? I'm guessing not.

[experimental0000]

"and move the mouse down and... you're back" .. from outer space.. sorry couldn't resist. nice preview !

[jonathonwallen]

Lamarr, 7:04 - smile so we can see you ;-)

[KhaarJoon]

absolutely hate this tile thing feels really claustrophobic and well just retarded though i can understand it on a tablet. i think in the end mac and pc are the same price as if you were to buy the equivalent of ilife on windows it'd cost about 500 quid and the quality is amazing on macs. this has failed to convert me so i wont be buying a windows 8 machine. sorry microsoft

[LG141602]

@KhaarJoon just get a good laptop like the vaio z 2011

[matthehat]

It looks very gimmicky, I don't like the look of the new interface at all. I hope you can turn all the gadgetry off to save system resources

[man444utd]

@matthehat People said the same about the iPad, Windows 8 is going to be huge, also, almost all my products are Apple, this is the first version of Windows that has actually exactitude me.

[SKadoosh51]

There is a button to go back, the windows button. I don't know if the apple button will do the same on your keyboard.

[BIGBPRODUCTIONS100]

6:04 this guy funny as hell.

[rinkavideos64]

vmware fusion has a really bad cube effect when i press one of these tiles. it's making me so mad. also hardware rendering in i.e. doesn't work. it feels like the whole os was internet explorer, which it is, but that isn't noticeable with hardware rendering. parallels just doesn't work. i will try bootcamp on my mbp 2011.

[wilsontech1]

I didn't install any special drivers. I used Boot Camp Assistant, it asked me to insert the disc (the one I burned from the ISO) and then it installed; it just worked. I use Lion if that helps any.

If it's not working for you, do some Google searches or maybe a community member in the comments can assist. I can't provide any tech support on this.

[Deliciousfruit233]

Wait, if this was just released, how did you get Bootcamp drivers for it? There is NO way Apple made drivers for Win8 THAT fast.

[Play2Music]

Just because of your funny ending I'm suscribing!

BTW... Great demo!
