Has anyone tried out the new Windows 8 (DP)

SO smooth, so simplistic, so fast. I love W8. I love how the user interface is like a mobile smartphone. I have dual-booted it with Windows 7 on my laptop. works really fantastic. gonna show it to a couple of friends tommorow.

If haven't try it out yet, but you want to. or don't know about it. it's on the microsoft website. u need to dualboot it with your current os, google: dualbooting windows 8 with windows (7,xp,vista). whatever of tehse u use. enjoy

looking forward to the final version.

If I wanted top use my phone, I would simply use my phone.

I think its bs how they are trying to turn everything into a tablet/phone.

I will be sticking to win7 thats for sure

from what i've seen one of the "apps" on the win 8 green initial screen is a proper desktop like in win 7... though even explorer has the stupid ribbon

it's really ridiculous because even if you want to stick with win 7 you'll have to "upgrade" eventually to 8, microsoft would be throwing money down the drain if they kept supported win 7 for more than 2 years

you can thank apple fanboys for this bullshit, instead of common holographic displays and nanotechnology cpus we're getting an interface that's made for 6-year olds because apple have taught us that ease of use should be the benchmark and since they're successful everyone is copying it

thanks so *bleep* much for setting technology 10 years back you hipster morons

Attempts to boot on virtual machine. *crashes* no surprise there I guess Still don't get why they are designing for touch screens when touch screens are not even common among desktops

might be cause of windows surface....which is a bloody awesome thing but too expensive and only for commerical use.... but some people who have hacked it have done awesome things with it....
