    So I tired Windows 8 at Best Buy today....

    ... and I could not figure out how to exit out of a program... the interface is REALLY cumbersome to use. I have over 20 years of experience with computers too... I say this is going to be another "Vista" experience but with a worse user interface.

    I'll be keeping my Windows 7. PC sales are about to fall... hard.

          I would still use Win XP if they wouldn't stop making XP drivers for latest hardware...

                      Windows 7 and NT 4.0 are the most divine versions of Windows OS in existence.

                              Win XP had everything I needed to work, used less resources, and was more convenient to me.

                                  My main desktop has Windows 7 on it (which I love)...I'm not sure if I'll be moving to Windows 8 when it's released. I've been loving Arch Linux on my laptop so I might consider moving to that if I end up not liking Windows 8.

                                      Windows 8 is great as long as you install 'classic shell'. With classic shell it is like windows 7 but better.

                                          I still use win XP

                                          Can't stand the look of folders in any other version. Even if I change it to any of the other options they have it still sucks. It's hard on the eyes when I'm scanning a bunch of them and looking for one in particuliar.

                                              Win 7 really does the job as it should from 2000, but they didt see cash in that, so they made some buggy versions

                                                  just press the windows key..

                                                  also when you buy it you spend 5 minutes learning interface - I am sure this tutorial will be built in.

                                                  problem solved.

                                                      Microsoft is going to dominate with this new os, you watch. When you want to buy something you'll buy it right from your main desktop screen from microsoft, by-passing everything else. I see this coming already.

                                                      Microsoft is a bit late to the game.... But I see what they are doing.

                                                          I'm running the pre-release version on on e of my systems, and I'm starting to like it. It was tough for me to find some of the things I'm used to, but it makes sense once you start drilling down into it some. The Windows key is essential to good use. There's a ton of great commands mapped to that key which will get almost anywhere quickly.

                                                                                                              then in the future when people pick up a microsoft tablet or phone, they'll intuitively know how to use it since it mimics their laptops / desktops... easier sell

                                                                                                              as long as it has the 'classic shell' i'll be fine with it... windows 7 was perfect as far as i'm concerned

                                                                                                                                                  But Windows 8 is part of a larger strategy so the Xbox, tablets, and windows phone all work exactly the same way. Microsoft is calling part of this "smart glass" where you can move seamlessly between each device.

Ran it till RTM came out and installed it the day it came out. Recently I realized I went days, probably a week or more, without seeing the Metro/tile start/interface at all.

                                                                                                                                                                  The OS would suffer form bad app design though, it's already evident many app designers are phoning it in completely and there are other apps that are pretty cool

                                                                                                                                                                  As for getting out of an app... Windows key on the keyboard to get out of apps or mouse in the top/bottom left corners
