TechRadar - It's a bold move to head off the danger of Windows becoming irrelevant in an iPad future by giving you the best of both worlds. You can have a slim, lightweight, cheap tablet with a tablet OS that can also run Office and turn into a notebook when you add a keyboard (we have to see the final version of Windows RT to see how well this works, but so far we're impressed).
Or you can have a slightly larger and pricier tablet with a tablet OS that can also run Office and all your applications and turn into a notebook when you add a keyboard. Or you can get all of that in a notebook or a desktop, as long as you can deal with the touch-friendly interface.
4.5/5
Guess i'll have to wait and try it for myself.
But now, i dont want to go back to windows 7 after using Windows 8 Enterprise.
The metro (Tablet view) is horrible. it just doesnt belong to the PC if you ask me. It just doesnt really fit.
But if you can look through it, and use the 'classic' desktop view, windows 8 has alot of improvements over windows 7. Also im having a huge performance gain when playing games.
people are just butthurt when its optional right now.
microsoft isnt forcing 8 on us.
from my usings windows 8 is just windows 7 with some tablet optimized features tacked on. lots of new simple ad ons for the mainstream and casual so they can set up the computer easily.
of course early adopters arent gonna have fun, you have to wait for the good stuff to be made and ported over.
its not for gaming yet.
everything else is fully functional.
Like the facebook timeline. People hate it, but when they get used to it, they like it.
I for one, love windows 8
for the past 12 years the rate of conformity in the human race has shot up 120000000%
when some big name celeb is on it
it becomes cool.
when it grows on the leaders and they recommend it to others
it becomes cool
Try before you complain
