Windows 8 is designed for touch screens pc's. So if you don't have one, you won't enjoy the full features of Windows 8.
I just finished installing the beta, only took a billion hours to load. Does anyone know how to search for apps directly from the desktop? I'm using it on a laptop and currently I have to go to metro view and then hover over an icon in the bottom right corner for App Search to appear.
I will still stick to Windows 7 Ultimate. I'm loving it already. And I guess there's no big difference between the two OS.
I tested it when it's still beta and honestly, horrible experience! I spent 5 minutes just to find where is the shutdown button! I hope the current will be better than that!
Really? People are always resistant to change. I just don't know how they'll take Windows 8. When is the release date?
Windows 8 would have new Metro-style touch-based interface and you can switch between the simple Metro interface and the traditional Windows desktop to fit whatever your needs are at that given moment. As 4 me I like it’s running apps very much. The browser has lots of touch-based controls, like pinch to zoom and copy and paste, and you can access options like search, share, and settings through the Charms bar. it's incredible!!!!
