Gonna throw my 2 cents in so far. Pros -Windows 8 runs much faster on my rig than 7. -It recognizes devices better and boots them faster(my bluetooth keyboard's input ---registers much faster at startup) -Max(2012), Photosohp(cs6),Zbrush they all work fine -less cluttered desktop I think the biggest benefit of the windows…
I only upgraded since I had it. I did not do benchmarks with how apps performed before (something I should have done before upgrading...). But I hated Aero because it locked up sometimes and caused issues. If they are still using Aero, they made it zippier/fixed it. Just feels clean. The first 8 minutes was spent…
I hate it when people jump onto saying something sucks when they haven't used it. I know I haven't used it, but a lot of the reviews I've been seeing are that people are shocked at how much they like it after getting used to it.…
just working a day now with the upgrade. first impressions: i updated over my old system and apart from the display driver(manually updated from nvidia) everything works fine and got moved over. it's a hybrid system. a little weird in the beginning, but if you want your win7 stuff working this was propably their best…
No. But there are reasons not to switch. Like tablet interface.. And I honestly would not get to used to MetroUI. My 8th sight telling me that idea will scrapped in Windows 9.

xp 64bit came out in 2003 and had built in SP1, two years after xp released around august 2001. Hardly late in its cycle if you look at its lifespan. I started using it around the end of 2003 and had no issues with it apart from sound support from Creative, but that is to be expected as they are always late with drivers…
i think you have made some valid points form a general users perspective but that's not the point of view that corporations or studios have for there workstations. in 2011 windowsXP64 finally dropped to 50% of the total windows install base. that means that right now in 2012 probably 45% of the total windows install base…
Lots of misinformation here. 1. It does have a second taskbar with dual monitors. 2. It has been more optimized than 7. It's a bit more peppy on my test system. 3. The sign in is ONLY if you use windows live features like app store or calendar. You can use and install system without! 4. You can still use windows picture…
I wanted a clean install on my lappy so I decided to get the Win8 Release Preview. Horrible idea, and it's not even just people bitching about change, it's objectively a much less streamlined and manageable experience (and... sucks). You know the joys of the windows media center (the one that would open up the big blue…
