MY THOUGHTS​

Windows 8 = Windows 7 and much more.
There are obviously things that need to be taken care of, but as it stands today, its still an awesome package, and leaves 7 behind the competition in every possible and impossible way.

9.5 out of 10

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DIFFERENT WIN8 VARIANTS​

[theundead]

windows 8 will be a tablet-oriented platform, nothing new in it for gamers. jab aa jae ge to dekh laen ge
wesay windows also follows the flip flop pattern
98-flip
2k/me-flop
xp-flip
vista-flop
7-flip
8-****(guessing a flop)

 

[maryfarrukh]

Windows 8 will also be for tablets. Thats the right way to put it.
And don't worry, it won't be a flop.

 

[Shary Bhallu TC]

Either way, I won't be installing it on my PC cuz I love 7 too much.

 

[Baghi]

Why? There's no need as for now.

Yes, i download complete here, Going to install! Will share my views. BTW it was nice experience using Developer preview.

 

[Baghi]

I'd rather wait for the Final Build. (sm1)

 

[Gameson]

From Microsoft Site:

If you install Windows 8 Consumer Preview using the Windows 8 Consumer Preview Setup program, you won't need to enter a product key—the setup program automatically provides the product key. If you create installation media, start your PC from the media, and then install Windows 8 Consumer Preview, you'll need to enter this product key: NF32V-Q9P3W-7DR7Y-JGWRW-JFCK8.

 

[mubaidr]

Finished installing Windows 8 consumer preview, Some nice visual and accessibility enhancement plus I think memory print is reduced to previous build. Using 900Mb on first boot up.

Installing drivers and softwares will let u guys know about my experience latter

 

[XxRebellionxX]

Meh! I'm not prepared to try this out as I'm devastated by imagining the "Metro UI" on a P.c
Still if you guys try this out do post some screens and first impressions

Ok, installed under 8 minutes. This has to be some kid of record.


Really liking the new things and changes they've made.

The new IE 10 Immersive edition is awesome.
And so is the new Task Manager. I am in love with the new Task Manager :yay:

If you guys have any questions, don't hesitate to ask
