Gremlin Posted November 5, 2012 Posted November 5, 2012 What do you guys think so far since it has been released? I know it is based on their own preference.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhenKittensATK Posted November 5, 2012 Posted November 5, 2012 Free with DreamSpark Premium. If it wasn't free, I'd probably just stick with my Win 7 copies or pay less than $20. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
El_Capitan Posted November 5, 2012 Posted November 5, 2012 Not impressed with Windows 8, Metro UI seems un-needed or could have been implemented in Windows 7 by way of an app or widget. Unless you're not coming from Windows 7, then yeah, otherwise, Windows 7 is just fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ir_cow Posted November 5, 2012 Posted November 5, 2012 (edited) Im sorry but I wouldn't even use it for free. I may take the free copy and put it on a computer for sale, but not for personal use. Unless for some ungodly reason that I must switch to windows 8. At that point in time I'll switch to MacOS. It kinda goes like this Win 8 > MacOS 9 > Win 98 > Win Xp > Win Vista > Linux > Mac OS X > Win 7. The next is line is OSx, I just don't see another windows in my future.

malmsteenisgod Posted November 6, 2012 Posted November 6, 2012 If I were to buy a laptop, I'd probably get one with Windows 8, but I won't be getting Windows 8 for my desktop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

VaporX Posted November 6, 2012 Posted November 6, 2012 There are reasons to make this purchase but just as many not too. This is not a compelling upgrade, nothing that screams it needs to be done. However the OS is solid and there are some neat features. The wild part is I think this is the OS of extremes. If you are a geek that loves to explore his computer then this is a great OS and worth the cost as you get to explore an OS that is truly different, something we have not seen since Windows 95. If you are the uber casual user, someone that is is only about access email and Facebook then this OS actually has a lot to offer in the pure ease of simplified access. If you are in the middle and are happy with your current OS then there is nothing here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skidmarks Posted November 6, 2012 Posted November 6, 2012 I've tried it & although it's not too bad there is no compelling reason for me to switch from 7. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
