Been running windows8 since launch. When used correctly it completely shits over Win7. It's the fact that people do not like change or that a lot of people use it wrong.

Your windows key is now your new best friend when it comes to windows 8.

P.s- Classic shell sux cox n' dix.

P.p.s- Why is this not posted in the "The Lan Lounge"

P.p.p.s- Why is this not posted in the "polls" section of the forum?

If classic shell sucks dick that's fine with me :p I'm not all that computer savy and I wing pretty much everything so it's made the change to 8 a little easier for me.

Majority of users rarely visit The Lan Lounge

No idea

All running W7 aside an ESXi lab. W8 is a great OS on paper, but totally fluffy, intended for touch-screen and not for administrators who frequent MMC and other 'guts' components of Windows. I played with it for a while to see if my network could move up, if games ran better, but no, W7 works perfectly fine for what it is and for now I have no intention of upgrading. With all devices I have running an SSD for OS purposes there's really nothing to speak of in speed difference, but with a HDD I could understand why the preference would be for W8.

lol cute, You do know all games have grabbed a minimum 8fps boost going from win7 to win8 with the latest optimized drivers that have been appearing the past few months?

My last batch of testing was less than two weeks ago on said 'optimised' drivers and it disagrees.

Your fanboisms are cute, please don't be offended that W8 isn't for me at this time. It's nothing personal.

Windows 8 is great when you take the time to get used to the new interface.

Those tiles are your start menu. You still have a complete desktop same as windows 7. And, Use the windows key on your keyboard :)
