    Windows 8 yuk


    Looks like I will be sticking with Windows 7 Pro when I buy a
    new computer. If I can find a 64 bit version by then.
    This is a couple of years down the road.

    The Metro is a piece of junk designed for kids.
    Why does Microsoft perpetually keep on designing bad OSs?
    Change is not always good. I know money........
    Windows 8 for a programmer is utter nonsense.
    My comments are intended to be constructive.

    Don't get me wrong as Windows 7 is decent.

    Windows 95 - nothing to really compare with
    Windows 98 - more windowsish
    Windows 2000 - haven't tried, but was very popular
    Windows XP - they haven't thought that people like MS so much, they have added a whole new kind of interface
    Windows Vista- they thought that they can do anything right - they were wrong, but they've created aero
    Windows 7 - MS kicks ass after the failure of vista with the best performing os ever, improoved aero look
    Windows 8 - ?

    Use Windows 7 until you start liking Windows 8.

    The Metro is designed for tablets. That you can switch off for the PC. Metro UI - Add "Disable/Enable Metro" to Context Menu in Windows 8 - Windows 8 Forums What other problems do you have?

    Two words, Developer Preview. Nowhere near feature complete, or how the final will work. You want to test Windows 8, wait until it is at least in beta.
