Re: Windows 8
Contrary to much of the naysaying I'm looking forward to W8. A new UI designed from scratch that's fully hardware accelerated and doesn't require developers write code to refresh the window with as little flicker as possible in non-Aero mode. A move towards managed languages for cross compatability with Windows Phone and… -
Re: Windows 8
there is a reason why Autodesk and others support XP64 and win7 but not vista. vista was another 'wild experiment' by microsoft that did not fit into the corporate upgrade cycle. win8 is about the same. the reason why it is so cheap is that they don't expect any of there large customers to buy it. they have settled on… -
Re: Windows 8
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.

Re: Windows 8
I'm not a huge Win8 advocate.

But there is something that I believe is being overlooked. The new UI is meant to be a "Start Button" replacement. Those… -

Re: Windows 8

Windows 8
Is anyone using this? I was going to download it but watched some youtube videos first and that changed my mind. They seem to want to coerce users into the metro/tablet interface, which seems like an atrocious idea to me. I understand tablets are gaining ground but I can't stand that swiping crap and all the other…
