hey guys i just have a few questions here, i have windows 8 downloaded and i was just wondering before installing it, is it worth it? some people have told me that it sucks and the drivers are bad and its more for tablets. i want your guys opinion if i should install it or not, and if it will run smoothly without any problems

im wondering the same thing...besides look....does it preform better than windows 7

>the drivers are bad

waat?

how can the drivers be bad? ._.

also, the person that told you that should go shoot himself

Install it in a VM and try it.

How would installing it in VM help him determine if it is good or not? When it doesn't actually use any of his own hardware but some nigerian virtual shit

I say get a spare HDD and install it on that for testing, if you dont like it you could just switch back to W7 and get rid of the other HDD :3

Why not just make a second partition?

Oh yeah let's shorten the lifespan of the HDD by playing with the partitions

Why not just make a second partition?

why not just do a VHD installation?

note that magnetic storage can move around physical locations of partitions all day without reducing lifespan, you're talking about flash crap

 

also, a partition resize at the end of it only involves a limited amount of writes

how can the drivers be bad? ._.

There are no drivers for some HW at this moment.

presumably the same hardware that didn't have drivers for earlier 6.x releases as all 6.x-compatible drivers will work on 6.2.

i think we should create section about windows or official win8 discussion topic...

 

anyway, its new and comes with latest things which is you dont have to install after setup. You always have to install some drivers even in win7 and win8... also in linux... default drivers just for basic running not for gaming or professional using. (sound-video cards wifi cards etc)

so....besides drivers....does windows 8 run faster and use less resources than windows 7?

From what I have seen, the problem is that the UI is designed for a tablet and trying to use it on a true PC is horrendous.

I'm calling bullshit on this one.

thats why i have been hesitating to get it

erm, the metro ui, yes.

however, did you ever notice this button on metro?

 

maybe you should click it and realize the actual desktop experience is better, with various additional features like new task manager (last time I checked, the old one still exists in a file somewhere), new theme (no aero yes, but it hasn't been removed, simply 'disabled' because it's a buggy fuck), better performance. and it still supports most 6.x applications/drivers, as nta mentioned above.

 

unless you get windows rt on a pc, in which case you're a moron.

I want to say press release is the best medium for promoting a new business or any news or products launched by a company or firm.It is a great medium of getting the traffic on a website.If d3face.com forget some points about press release please share your views.

I use it, find it quite good + you can use the FD1 kms host (win8-non-activated sucks)

 

 

my recommendation; yah try it but install it on a diffrent drive and/or partition and do a duel OS boot. (that way you can always revert if things don't go well)

 

& to whoever said that partitions lower the life span of your HDD should get a reality fix a.s.a.p :| (they don't)
