Features like being worse yet exactly the same as Windows 7

you must be excited, I was very excited two weeks ago from when I upgraded from vista to 7

Every other windows is terrible. Windows XP was good, Windows Vista was terrible, Windows 7 was good, Windows 8 will be terrible.


They brought Window's phone desktop to the PC. What's so good about it? I like a start button.

DON'T DO IT
don't worry he has the curse in an enclosed prison so it cant infect him.

That's a nice virtual machine you have there, On the otherhand Vmware workstation is a better choice for this kind of thing as vmplayer seems to have some slight problems with loading things

how to get the best experience out of windows 8:
  • uninstall.

Windows 8 is great.  It's extremely fast, the new lock screen and all is great, and the new visual theme looks great.  I'll be getting it on the 26th.

all these people complaining about the start button

honestly i've been running windows 8 release version for quite some time

i have found it easier to NOT use the start button, as I can start programs extremely fast without it, because search for applications is much faster.

the general look of windows 8 is much cooler too, i like the more boxy than round

the metro ui i don't really care for much on my desktop computer. on tablets its really cool but on the desktop computers its just a nice thing to have.
i almost NEVER use it.

the new task manager is awesome, and lots of small gui's that you don't use much have been updated and look a lot cooler and are more useful.
for example, the new file moving gui is really cool, as it shows a graph of how the speed has gone.

windows 8 isn't that much different from 7, but different enough it is defiantly worth the upgrade.

if you have more questions or want me to make a video about it or something let me know

It's okay.  I personally am staying with 7, but I will be getting the Surface which has RT

Can someone explain simply what RT is?
