b555 Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 Installed the customer preview copy yesterday seems good so far, anyone else using it???
Jersey #10 Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 Installed it last night but haven't used it. It took me some 5 hours to fully install it so I went to sleep and woke up around 2am to find that it had been installed. Used it for like 2 minutes at 2 am. Is there a way of going back to Windows 7? Not that I want to but just for information
b555 Posted March 2, 2012 Author Posted March 2, 2012 wtf man? 5 hours? you must be kidding me it took me 15 min to install and then 10 min of housekeeping and i was looking at my win 8 login screen! seriously 5 hrs is :WTF:
Jersey #10 Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 ^first it took about an hour for it to download. Then while installing, I had some unsupported software to delete. This made the computer restart several times. Then the installing was taking forever so I went to sleep. I was awake for at least 3 hours of all this so it was def. not 25 minutes as you are suggesting.
Jersey #10 Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 Talking of the product windows 8, it's disappointing. The simplest way of describing it is - The same old **** topped with apple sauce" I hope it grows on me but so far, it's nothing to fap over.
b555 Posted March 3, 2012 Author Posted March 3, 2012 one thing, its not a great hit for pcs and laptops, i dont know for tablets howveer because i havent used one some sad **** changes and those changes also only support hotmail and related, i mean wtf ?? who the hell uses hotmail anyway??
Jersey #10 Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 yes, it's kind of stupid If you wanted to use the calendar you would have to log into hotmail to do so. wtf?

PriyankaSR Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 WTF?? I didn't know windows 8 even existed. How is it, btw?
NeutralCat Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 I hate it can't do anything on it, I installed it and went back to Windows 7 pretty quickly.
akshayxyz Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 As it has always been with alternate windows versions...this is going to be flop - since win7 was relatively successful ( as compared to Vista).
Clarke Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 Is there no way to install it besides Win7 on a separate partition ? What's the going back and forth being mentioned here ?
akshayxyz Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 Is there no way to install it besides Win7 on a separate partition ? What's the going back and forth being mentioned here ? virtual machines.. (virtual box, vmware), are your friend for such experiments.
Clarke Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 ^^ Well yeah, but that's not what some people seem to be doing here. What if something goes wrong during install/rollback ?
punjabi_khota Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 I heard Win 8 is kinect capable. As in you can do desktop operations by moving your hands etc in the air if you have the hardware :hmmm:
ViruRulez Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 Testing out for the last few days. Was also using the developer preview earlier. Looks cool though I have faced one system hang up till now. Overall stable and quite cool. However, I am still missing the start menu. I am not sure the start screen can replace the start menu for a traditional PC. Start screen suits tablets more than PCs.

ViruRulez Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 That MS's unique way of branding and claiming ownership of the product. Still light years ahead of the overhyped and overpriced Apple products. :winky: And it is still a beta release. However, I personally like Windows 7 more than Windows 8 at least for PCs. Tablets might be a different ball game altogether.
