Re: Windows 8 Developer Preview

[QUOTE=findeciclo;162571]Ok, I will investigate about Win 8. If you say is new and reliable and great perfomance, Ok.
But I think drivers compatibilities will be a problem, or not?[/QUOTE]

Ive not had any drivers issues at all and i am currently testing windows 8 on a Centrino Duo laptop (model Toshiba A100-338) that originally came with Vista (oh dear!)

Previous had Windows 7 running on this laptop (4GB ram) 1.6Ghz processor, no driver issues and full 4GB memory available to the OS. (in Win 8 too)

It's usually hardware manufacturer problem that does not adapt or evolve with the software, it is also true that in a normal beta drivers that may be missing

It should connect to windows' updates servers and should find the appropriate drivers...
In fact, that's going to be windows 8's BIGGEST innovation - no need for drivers, because a lot of people loose their drivers cd's and don't want to download them...
Windows 8 has the solution for everything...

Yes, it is a great innovation. But Mac Lion O.S. have inside an antivirus, ¿does Windows 8 inside an antivirus without management?

Ok, I will read it.
This is a great new, antivirus, antispam, included inside.
Perhaps Win8 will be a very good O.S.
I will try it as soon as I can.

Re: Windows 8 Developer Preview

I have tried it on my Toshiba Qosmio 770 with no problems. The drivers I have used from Toshiba have worked without problems. Don't forget this, is a pre beta release, to give developers a sight of the new Operating System.

Re: Windows 8 Developer Preview

I haven't tried windows 8 yet, but really annoyed that the start buttons takes you to the metro screen. Not a big fan of metro.

Re: Windows 8 Developer Preview

According to engadget there is no (current) way to disable metro, it is how the start menu is. However a lot of companies have requested the old style start menu to stay, which makes sense.

Re: Windows 8 Developer Preview

Someday it will have to change the old Windows Start button, if everything changes Why it is not to change too?

Re: Windows 8 Developer Preview

Home users don't mind it, but in a corporate environment they want to keep things simple. A lot of companies may need to change their apps to work with the metro style start button. It will just put a lot of companies off upgrading, a bit like vista did to companies, most have gone from XP to windows 7.
