Author Topic: Windows 8 coming 10/26  (Read 4803 times)


This screen above scared the stuff out of me when I first saw it.
I was like WTF DID THEY DOOO

Well now, see I am working at Staples as and Easytech and they are having to train us in Windows 8 for when the customers start having stuff break on them.
It turns out this system is pretty cool. The icons are intuitive and understandable, and everything is much more fluid. There are apps and things and yeah.
If you have any questions let me know :D

NO THEY DID NOT KILL THE DESKTOP

Yeah, I really hate Windows 8, but since I expressed my anger in a topic last year about it, I have seen that it actually doesn't look too bad.

You can link it to Facebook, and Windows Live I suppose.

At first I thought it looked very bad because of the massive UI change, but honestly I've kind of been subconsciously making my desktop look more like the Windows 8 desktop lately. It's all fences, sidebar gadgets, and rainmeter now. I'm kind of looking forward to Windows 8.

It definitely grows on you.

Will there be a desktop mode and not that confusing thing shown in that picture?

please :(

I'm not paying money for something that is pretty much Win7 with a smartphone layout thing put in the ctrl+alt+delete screen, I'll wait for the next one.
That being said, I will be buying a retail copy of Win7 to replace the OEM copy bound to my Dell motherboard, maybe if Win8 is cheaper I'll consider it


that looks cool but what the ehck is ti

Where is the desktop? D:

I thought Windows 8 had an classic desktop mode?
Looks cool to me though. I heard your also able to change the start orbs on it. But Windows 7's desktop/taskbar looks more cool to me.

please :(

Note the 'desktop' button in the bottom left, it takes you to a desktop identical to windows 7.
