it's just schooling got no time to crack that thing open lol

Have you tried the windows 8 preview?


IDLed it but need more HDDs before I go around install new stuff

I suspect it will be more like a cell phone than a traditional PC OS.

I couldn't describe it any better. Picture Win7 on a smartphone. Right now I'm working with it for mass imaging production, and so far it's just as lovely in that respect as Win 7 is.

Having a touch screen is obviously the way to go with it but it's nice with traditional input methods.

Where can I get it at ?

would like to play around with it, some dude on another site said it is better than XP for SPI and Prime....... :blink:

Would also like to see how it is for 3D

Funny in 2004-5 I was running 5 monitors with one of them a touch screen. Honestly, I think it is a stupid idea for a desktop.
Why would I take my hands off KB/mouse to reach up to the screen. WTF?

Now for MS surface (or whatever that OS is called they use on TV) I can see the benfits of touchscreen. Problem is most interactions require a useful KB..

Couldn't rep you again. Think we need an overhaul on that Kal!!! I have repped a few other people.. either change it or get rid of it.
