Playing with Windows 8

WOW

complete and total departure from the traditional windows experience.


After the reaction they got with Vista.... I don't know if people are ready for this...

Yeah and I get it for $14.95

I am about to build up another pc after I decide on which cuda video card to get so I can add that to the other 6 machines.

I will just use the new OS on the laptop since the OS isn't all that important for me with the Einstein project or the CERN alpha-beta tests.

I don't think I would upgrade unless I had a touch screen myself, I got the preview pretty much for testing purposes for work....


Gotta say though, the driver support seems to be outstanding, probably the best for Windows I have ever seen.

My laptop is pretty new and even with 7 I was looking all over the place and downloading drivers, 8 picks them up pretty easily.


The Metro interface is going to throw some people for a loop though, they made it too hard to get to control panel, my computer, my docs etc....


Hopefully they fix that.
