What's the difference between a release preview and a release candidate?

I don't think I'll bother with it. I'm going to wait and see how much MS are going to charge for the full version. I'd hate to get really involved in Win8 and then find that the price was way too high.
I'll stay with seven for the time being.

I liked Vista very much, it was a great OS if you had decent hardware.

Financially I enjoyed it as I had more callouts than any other OS to sort out problems, but from a user point of view, I couldn't stand it, Win7 was in my opinion the best thing since sliced bread but win 8 feels like a step backwards

I agree and hope I have your resolve and can maintain it.
But I'm afraid I will backslide if they offer it at a major discount like they did with the $50 deal on Win 7 Home Premium before it was formally released.
Looking back, I have purchased all Windows OSes except ME, dating back to 3.1. So, I don't have much sales resistance.
But I can't recall being so put off by any of them, so maybe resistance is not futile?

Absolutely agree with this. Even if Microsoft made it available to me for the low upgrade price of $9.99, I would not part with the money. This is the very first OS release in quite a long time from Microsoft that I positively have no interest in.

I love and very much appreciate the information exchange on this site concerning Windows 8.
It keeps me up to date BUT.......
I was very happy using XP from 2001 until 2009.
I was not impressed with Vista and skipped it altogether.
I love Windows 7 and there is no reason for a whole nother version of Windows right now. 7 is just that good. Period.

Trying it now. Talk about a learning curve! Where is everything???? :roflmao:
About the only thing I like is the fact they have placed the WinRE tools in the SysReserved partition and that's how I have had mine set up.
As far as navigating goes though.....I'm lost!!

I have to say the opposite of a lot of you. I will admit that the Windows 8 Developer Preview was horrible and the Consumer Preview wasn't that great, but this Release Preview is great. The OS feels like I'm running it off of my ssd even though I am running off of a spinner (I didn't have enough room on my ssd for Windows 7 and Windows 8 together). Metro is very fast and fluid and the Desktop is nice too. It does have a learning curve, that all operating systems have. I like Windows 7 and the good ol' classic desktop, but Windows 8 is great.
