Turd I'm starting to think your blind. Didn't you say Windows 7 would eat up iOS and Android and was going to dominate the Mobile OS world? They still can't top Windows Mobile of all things, still can't even get close to the 5 percent share I bet you on. lol... If you have ever used a Zune, it's just like that, more TEXT based with simple graphics then anything. hence how quick it is. "Some" apps have more graphics then others, more transitions then others, but as the OS stands, it's simple, more text based with tiles and colors a 8 year old came up with, and nothing about it stands out. There is a reason why the phone continues not to make movement. Last I heard not a single of the major phone producers other then ZTE, whoever they are, are coming up with new Windows Phones. HTC might when Windows Phone 8 (Apollo) is out, but no one else seems to want to produce. Just Nokia it seems.. I don't knock MS, but Metro sucks. It's like a dumbphone interface, for a smartphone, or something like that.
Classic Windows desktop on 64-bit version is constantly crashing on me, WTF! Moving to the 32-bit version instead! I will say it's a quick OS, but using this with a mouse is plain stupid! I'm having problems moving away from Bing and making Google my search default,, I hate BING!!!
Not sure if I would upgrade. If I can get it free I would
Man I just finally installed Windows 7 last June so I'll be ready for Windows 8 around Spring 2015. By Then it'll be good or Windows 9 will have dropped and I will install Windows 9 by about 2018. Thanks for the info. I'll try it out Windows 8 on a laptop I can tinker with.
When does it officially ship
I always jump one win OS generation
98 SE--> win XP --> win 7 --> win 9?
well there were actually 2 OS after 98....(ME & 2000)....but they were so shitty its like they dont even count....lol
Okay, quick review of the Consumer release of Win 8 for me.
1st day: Wow! Pretty slick, fast, new quick!
2nd day: WTF??? Where is the got damn START button? Why would you take the fucking START button away??? I mean I can understand on the TILE interface, but on the DESKTOP too? Really?? You fucking bastards!!!!!
3rd day: Off work, decided to really get into it, and realized the lower left corner when the START box appears, takes the place of the START button(right click and all the options come right back to life, that was on Win 7/Vista/XP, not to mention you can put the old START button back on, which at this point I don't need anymore).
SHORTCUTS: WINKEY + TAB will open the sidebar to the left and let you know any apps/programs/windows/folders you have open and easily switch back and forth to
WINKEY + ALT will give you your selection at the top of your browser tab
WINKEY + C will give you access to your CHARMS on the right side
Of course you can find all of this in the help section.
4th day: It's really growing on me, and it's making a lot of sense now, why everything the way it is. The biggest part for me was the START button, which wasn't really missing, everything else is the same. You still have the desktop, if you choose not to use the tiles. As for as the browser goes, it really is two different ones. The TILE & DESKTOP, they are not the same and two different beasts.
Following Week: Loving it, now looking to try more and more software and apps on it, so far everything is playing nicely with it. No major issues with it. Looking on Amazon for a multitouch tablet to run it on, cause so far on Desktop it's working for me with no hitches.
Bootup Time: 18secs!!!!![]()

Trying to find a tablet now to put this on, any suggestions? I know they said, it needs to be a multi-touch surface tablet for sure.agree with this whole post..... boot time on my tablet is about 8 seconds.

I'm waiting for a Windows 8 tablet to come out. I love Androids for phones, but not for tablets.
I only have experience with the acer iconia w500 and the dell duo. I prefer the acer because I can ditch the keyboard. But both are good. The issue with the dell is that the screen can't detach from the keyboard. U have to flip the screen and fold it together. Its too bulky that way. The keyboard is detachable on the acer. And the acer has a more powerful gpu.
