joshualoy Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 What does everyone think about Windows 8? I upgraded and I must say that while it takes some getting used to, Windows 8 is faster than Windows 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael D. Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 My Windows 7 is a beast, but it's mostly used as an entertainment center/gaming center than anything else. I work in OS X. http://valid.canardpc.com/cache/banner/2466241.png Video card is an ATI Radeon HD 7970 and the HDD is a 256 GB OCZ Vertex4 SSD. It runs Windows 7 quite fast, I'm doubtful I would notice a difference betwen 7 and 8 on this hardware, but IF I ever upgrade to 8, I'll post back. I know I'm not going touch-screen anytime soon so I doubt I'll go 8 anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashkir Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 It took me a few days to get used to Windows 8. I now rather like it. I had to upgrade my Intel driver to the beta to stop the internet lag. And enable hypercard to make the performance a bit better when Windows 8 was updating itself constantly at first. Here's my cpu-z from my pc my dad built me: http://valid.canardpc.com/cache/banner/2624807.png I took out two sticks of ram (another 8GB worth) because Corsair gave us faulty ram.

SowelGraham Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 I like windows 8 interface very much. This is not bad operating system. But still I love Windows 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoss Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 For me windows 7 is good so far. Windows 8 has perfectly been ok for the touch screens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shpor Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 I don't have windows 8. The ads and early reviews inspired me to look into linux. (I still have windows 7 though.)I have been using Lubuntu on an old XP box for a while now and I really like it. I just installed Debian Wheezy on an old iBook G4. Too early to say how well that will work. I seriously doubt if I will ever get windows 8. I'll wait to see what they come up with next. Installing and maintaining a server on linux is way easier than on windows! I'll never turn back on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrintech Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Still using Windows 7 Tried Windows 8 on some computers and didn't like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 In my opinion windows 8 should stick to tablets and touch devices. It’s easier to navigate etc. I forgot my laptop charger when I was working away the other week so borrowed a laptop running windows 8, even though I like the interface I did not get on with it, Copy and pasting from the web to a document file was just a nightmare etc. Just setting up an administrator account was hard work, not the usual way on other windows editions. I think they have a lot of work to do with the software to make it a little bit more universal on the different types of users but so far so good. I think it is going to be another vista, was ok but didn’t quite work, Let’s see windows 9 =D On the other hand i too have been using different operating systems, Ubuntu and now i am playing around with CentOS. I like to have a wide range of experience (you never know when you need it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikKnudsen Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 It's kind of a looking old school and specially without the start button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael D. Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Tim uses Windows 8 and he gets by... I've watched him use it and it makes me cringe. I guess I will be sticking with Windows 7 until Windows 9 comes out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boldhead Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 It’s much better on touch screen and also it’s not bad at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
