I think it looks so '1990's', loathe that interface.

yes, it's awful, but once you close metro, the familiar gui is there, and is smoother and faster than the win7.

If I looked like the 90s' I'd probably be more up to date than I am now.

I'm using it daily for 2 weeks now and it's quite stable and fast (except for some minor Metro apps bugs). I liked the whole thing, but still cant live without the old start menu

hey vlad, have you tried any benches in win8 yet?

I went to boot up windows 8 this morning and got a "page fault in non-paged area" error.
So I put the installation disc in and booted into repair windows.
The new repair tool is very useful and lets you choose from different levels of repair.
I first tried to repair just the boot files which didn't work.
So I went ahead and let it repair the entire install. It took about 5 minutes and it re-set windows but kept all my files and settings including having the metro turned off. All other programs were deleted however.

Still, I think it will keep from having to format and re-install quite often. If you get a chance boot up the disc and get familiar with the improved repair tool.

Yes. Roll on Windows 9

rik is distributing "vistaII" tee shirts at the upcoming CES

has everybody been able to use the latest drivers for their stuff under win8?

.....and here was me thinking that 'Metro' belonged to 'Paris'....?

I must really give up drinking

[m.oreilly]

it died when i installed my ram drive, so back to win7, though i really like how the window borders are sharp on the ends, and how fast the ui is, along with boot. i'll re install it when it's further along
