It works pretty good in my opinion, If you don't like the start ui you can download classic shell to make it look like the old start menu.

No, windows 7 is proven to run games better, there is actually several of comparison videos on youtube and in most of them with Windows 8 end up being a couple of seconds slower than Windows 7.


I have no clue where you guys are getting 8 runs games better.

it means "if you're a crazy conspiracy nut who really believes that every other version of Windows is good and bad alternating, by all means wait for like 3-5 years for the next version of Windows", considering Windows 7 was released like fall 2009.

Do you not agree that windows 8 is more suited for touch screens then desktops?

Personal comparison, I have both.

When you use windows 8, it cuts the bios in half!
Literally!

Actually your right, the video i was seeing was the release preview but now the same guy who compared did another video with the full version.

Windows 8 vs Windows 7

It actually performs better, you know I thought about getting 7 but this actually may make me buy 8 now.

No, because Gaben doesnt like it.

Yes and no.  I'm having no problems using the Metro start menu and all sorts of its shortcuts using the small trackpad the stuffty laptop has.

I haven't read any posts other than the OP, so excuse me if I'm saying something over again.

Windows 8 in my true opinion is a more touch and tablet based OS.  Anyone who says it gets better performance is a bit wrong, I run Windows 8 and 7 at my workplace on the computers customers come in the build and the difference in hardware usage and performance is not enough to make your decision based off of.  Unless you plan on getting a touch based monitor, I wouldn't go with Windows 8

Irrelevant.

No, You shouldn't upgrade, All they did was add more advertisements and make a massively hard to use desktop. They're trying too hard to make it seem like XBox.

[Mr.jacksaunt]

Irrelevant.

that wasn't a pretentious thing to do at all

I don't think you understand what pretentious means.
