Unless you paid separately or especially for the OS, I wouldn't worry about it. You can always obtain the latest OS *wink* *wink*
usually when u buy new pc it comes with preinstalled os, if i buy win8 again when it releases that extra expense oh well
With Windows 8, did they nail down a sub-10 second boot time yet? No? Where is this instant-on capability hey keep missing?
oops i thought you were talking about the version of os when u said latest os yea there is no reason for them to give up the updates on the elder version or oh i get it now... you're talkin about the *wink**wink* way to get it lol?
If I'm not mistaken, that's more to do with hardware, i.e. solid state or flash storage devices allowing entire memory state to be saved and restored like the iPad. @Eudemon, bingo!
Hi all, It is too early to say that "Windows 8 is not good". Microsoft has not yet released the final build of Windows 8 and I think they will release it during the last week of October 2012. I have used most of the Windows Operating Systems (XP, ME, 2000, Vista, Win 7) and few days ago I have installed Windows 8 in a Virtual Machine (VirtualBox - need to try this, there was a good article at vpswebserver) Windows 8 is really fast and I love the inbuilt security system (Defender) too. In Windows 7 we had to install Defender separately. New Defender start it's job from the booting process and I guess it is more secure than previous version and most of the third party Virus guards. Microsoft is targeting both PCs, smartphones and Tablets now. New Windows 8 has a tile based Desktop (Metro) and it is easy to use on a Tablet. But friends, make sure to read the requirements before installing Windows 8 since it has two types for x86 and 64bit. If you have Windows 7 you can easily install Windows 8 without adding extra resources.
Windows 8 is specially developed for touch screen gadgets. However, still Laptop and Desktop users can use it, but not as well as Tablets users can.
