    Windows 8- Your first impression


    Tell me what you think of it. Do you like it? Do you hate it? Or could you care less because you've got a Mac!

    Personally, I hate the new Metro UI and how they have change little features that were in almost every previous version. I really don't like how Microsoft can clearly force there huge (junky) changes on us because it is the mainstream OS in the country. I think Windows 8 is for tablets, and only tablets. After many months of complaints before it's official release, you'd think they would have made a few changes.

    When my Vista computer fails, I'm going linux. Windows 8 is designed for touch screens. Too much money.

    I didn't like it at first, but since the upgrade version of Windows 8 Pro has some features I like that aren't available on my copy of Windows 7 Home Edition, I decided to keep 8 and have tweaked it so it looks and runs just like 7.

    What I really like is the start-up and shutdown time!
