WINDOWS 8
 

Has anyone ever... used it? And what's it like for gaming? Should I stick with my Windows 7 installation? Should I dual boot it to try it out? :dontknow:

it sucks.. stay on 7 ;)

I haven't used it yet (well had a 5 mins check on it in PC world), interested to know too, as my vista laptop is on the way out and need either 7 or 8 on it STAT.

Vista sucks :(

I still have it here on my hd, but didnt install it yet.

But the people that i knoww used it are happy with it, they say it's nice but not better as win7.

But you could always Dualboot and let us know :D

EDit/ whahah oke it sucks

From all of the people I have asked that have used it, they all say it is garbage.

i like it

gaming performance = same

if you dont like metroui then stay away as thats the biggest difference i have noticed from 7
sure you can edit it to be like 7 but why bother?

install it onto a vhd and test it. in case you dont know about vhd's they are basically bootable VM's that act as physical drives. here are some more details and a guide

if you dont like it simply edit bootlist and delete the vhd. best way to dual boot i have ever used

I have the consumer preview and installed it on a vm and it is basically 7 without the start bar and a secondary desktop designed for tablets. The images like that dumb fish look like crap if I may add...not sure what they were trying to achieve with that. A buddy of mine went to a Microsoft seminar where they explained Windows 8 and he said that its another vista. Stear clear. Its WOFTAM

From just the games view:

if you are gonna use it just for hardcore games stick it with 7.
but there are some interesting things coming up with 8 apps for the casual gamer...

So i recommend it if you play alot of quiky games lol

I've used it and I'm back to 7.

A lot of interesting feedback. Thanks, all!
