I'm a loser who uses Mac

I'm a Windows user, but won't that incite a commotion?

Oh, and on topic: I haven't tried it yet, and I don't want to.
Anyone hear the saying that every even version of Windows is bad, and that the odd versions are good?

Windows 8 SUCKS
It's definitely a "not get"
Really hard learning curve..
Swiping the mouse.
Bleh.. It's just overall terrible.

It's harder than hell to navigate and, as I always say, "You can't swipe a brick."
Windows 8 was made for tablets, IMO it was meant to stay that way.
Touch screens? Windows is just collecting ALLLLLL that money.

App store on Windows, things may be free but it'll wind up costing you tens of hundreds to have fun on the new OS.

i tried it out in new york, the ui sucked and theres is barely any functionality and they removed alot of things
they tried to much to make it online and interactive and its pretty much a windows live machine
and i HATE windows live, you have to pay for every little thing D:

Thanks for the review. I was gonna buy it tomorrow, but now I'm gonna go to best buy and screw around for 15 minutes. Thanks for possibly saving me $40 (maybe more, I have no idea where I put my win7 disk />)
Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe some of the features designed for tablet can be disabled if you're using it as a PC. If not, I'm sure I can find a hack for it.

I have it on my laptop with touch screen. I love it.

While on mouse and keyboard only, I think it is OK as long as you use only Desktop + start screen (without metro apps). Which also makes sense since metro apps are inferior to desktop apps (I don't think I have 22' display to have 3 buttons and 2 lines of text on it at one time).

Yeah that's something I'm rly looking forward to, being able to check my email the moment I turn my computer on.

So, what this poll has so far told me is:
Everyone's too worried they'll lose $40, which isn't the end of the world, and the guy who tried it loves it. Lol, imma screw around at a computer store this weekend. Does any1 know when the $40 sale is over?

Edited idiotic Mac option. The only Losers are people who call others Losers for their choice of OS. It is personal preference, and you acting superior just makes you an idiot.

Guys I acually used WinXP before 2 months or so, but I got a new PC so win7 wound not make my PC lag-freeze and finally explode (he was 1core/the new is 6core)

Win8 is actually faster than Win7, so if you have bad pc it's actually good to upgrade.

Wrong.
It's based on ram.
If you have shitty ram, Windows 8 won't do good.

Also, @dlcruz129
The one who tested it has a touch screen. Those who use mouse are really going to be pissed.

Again the money..
Touch screen costs more to buy.
$40(Windows 8) + $200+(Screen) = $240+

[matejdro]

I was talking about Win7 vs Win8. XP is of course best choice for shitty machine.

[billysback]

Someone I know got it, and I have seen it in use;
In case any of you don't know, windows 8 was made to be backwards compatible with windows 7 by basically including windows 7 with it, your able to go to the windows 7 desktop at any time, so theoretically by owning windows 8 you could never use the windows 8 desktop...

In any case, I am definitely sticking with Windows 7...

nope, that would be linux, the computer would be shit anyway so you couldnt play really good windows games
also a good choice for server boxes

[matejdro]

Again, I'm talking inside Windows family. And I agree with you, Linux is superior in performance.
