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.......

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.
