Re: Windows 8

Touch screen is fine on a phone or a tablet but not on a pc even worse if you are using a tower and not a laptop

[QUOTE=thecrazybandit;287167]Like it has been said windows 8 it for touch screen if you try using it with a mouse it is hard to use it i personally do not like it but lets see what the update will bring the adding of the start button may well change peoples minds[/QUOTE]

I ve personally installed win 8 on hp but it is much slower than win7 as well as winxp and I m thinking again of clean installation of win7 on laptop aw win 7 is 32 percent faster than win8

Re: Windows 8

i got the cheap upgrade from windows 7 to 8 last year and put my own start button on.i use it like 7 so its a complete waste of time,so if your happy with 7 stop with it.

Re: Windows 8

Don't expect to put win 8 on any pc then expect it to run faster if your pc or laptop does not have the right specifications you are wasting your own time.

yes if you think that XP are still supporting by Microsoft so 7 will keep going for a long time.

Re: Windows 8

I think that they have a obligation by law to support a operating system for X amount of years after they cease production.
Same as the car industry when they finish with a model they have to provide parts for X amount of years.
The X stands for I do not know how many.

Re: Windows 8

the thing is simpple
If you like win 7 and it's working, Ok to keep it (don't fix what is not broken)
If you buy new computer with kick-ass processing power.. you probably will want windows 8, the future is going to be like the past M$ has been copying Linux and Mac ways of doing the OS ..So it is expected to see lots of android on the future windows and windows mobile-nokias also...
