The tablet users will surly love Metro Ui but the average user will not enjoy as much.I don't think Win 8 will be a major jump from Win 7 considering performance in view.

I am still getting used to it as I install more programs and apps, so please don't mind this

There are tons of improvements in almost every single program and application.

A quick review of Windows 8 Consumer Preview

This is just a quick review of improvements and new features in Windows 8 CP (I am in love with this :rule

Windows 8 desktop is quit similar to windows 7.
-start menu button is removed.
-Lower-Left corner gives access to start menu
-Upper Left corner, lets u switch between Metro application.
-Right upper and right lower (Just above task bar) corner has quick menu, that provides access to settings,devices,search,sharing etc
-Right lower corner provides Aero view of desktop.

Surprize Pinball is back

Spoiler: show

"Refresh" and "Reset" my PC: (These options can be found in control panel)
Refresh: Quickly refresh windows,keeping your files and settings. (Reset windows settings and repair windows files)
Reset: Quickly reset windows , which completely removes settings and files. (Just like new Windows)

As a side note, i would like to mention that DX11 games (Dirt 3, Saint row the third) were not working on Windows 8 Developer Preview but now these run perfectly fine.

My recommendation at-least try Windows 8 CP as dual boot system.

There are lot of performance improvement like quick boot, Windows 8 boots to desktop in just 9,10 seconds(On a sata II Harddisk ,no ssd here )

For additional information about Windows 8 CP,
Windows 8 Consumer Preview

Very good work @mubaidr.

My few words:

• I'm not impressed by this Win8, to be honest.
• Everything looks exactly the same, except some fancy improvements, even those don't look that much good (Ubuntu's Unity Launcher is still better).
• Media player looks better.
• IE's icon is beautiful.
• The only thing I liked about this Windows is Pinball, lol j/k, it's task manager looks more user-friendly than previous task managers.
• Copying bar looks so simple, or ugly I should say?
• WEI is still stuck to 5.9 for mechanical drives (HDDs), at least this one should've been fixed.

In my opinion, it doesn't worth the hassle of installation.

Yes, everything looks same, but there are many improvements to the memory and performance side.

Clicking "less details" will make it look like file copy dialogue in Windows 7, but "Pause" is still an improvement

File copying,deletion or other dialogue boxes are unified into one. (Added to the first post)

One more con I forgot to add is, WEI is still stuck to 5.9 for mechanical drives, at least this one should've been fixed.

This new Internet Explorer is ridiculously fast
Also I am loving the new task manager

I'd like to try this with my copy of Windows 7. Now I know that it is possible to keep multiple operating systems on a single Hard-drive. Just wondering, would I able to later delete the Windows 8 if I want to? Plus would I have to make a different partition for Windows 8?

 

[Lord Ammar]

It's a very disjointed experience. Metro UI is solely built with a touch interface in mind yet even for desktop usage you cannot get without it coming in the way. Too many gestures, too many 'hidden' things, heck there are two separate Internet Explorers (one for metro and one regular). This has the potential to be a phenomenal tablet OS but for desktop use I have my reservations.

I am currently running Windows 7 and Consumer preview on the same HDD, of course on different partitions.
Yes, you'll be able to remove CP any time you want

^What he said!
The metro Ui looks good only on Tablets or Phones heck it looks awesome but trying the same tactic on P.c, I'm not sure my imagination tells me it would be ugly

There wont be an OEM version as this is a consumer preview.
There is an official torrent however, released by Microsoft.
Check that out

 

[TheBrokenMan]

will office 2007 work on this? My brothers need that above every other software and if office DOES come with it built in or it supports office 07 that would be awesome.
