      Been using it for a few days - I like it but it takes a bit of getting used to.

      Pretty stable so far - Evrything seems to work....

      EZ to install as well. No fucking around to get it up and running.

          lol - I have tried... Its seems it can not be done...

          On the desktop go to the left corner and RIGHT click - That brings up stuff that used to be on the Start Button...

          If you click the left button it take you to the Start 'Thing' - Where all the APPS are....

            I had a MSDN account, So, I have been trying windows 8 for a while now.

            Their main flaw with this,

            1) The UI (It's way too much like a phone)
            2) Secure Boot (Which wont allow ANY other OS to be installed on a computer if you buy a computer from a OEM. If the OEM's do this, They will surely drop in sales and people will be building their own PC's and/or buying pre-builds made from scratch.


            Just my two cents. As for the OS in general, I think it stinks compared to windows 7 and before it. It's just slow and sluggish and other things.

                It *is* the metro interface from tablets. That's kinda the point.

                Until someone releases a nice track pad though, all this swiping etc will be odd.

                  Been using it from Sept (developer's preview).

                  No major issues except for the fact that the drivers for the Touchscreen monitor I attempted to use with it don't work, so I have to use Metro with the mouse instead. That was expected though.

                  It doesn't wow me, neither does it disappoint me very much.
