Will you update to Windows 8 when it's released?

[shadow.prx]

Nope ArchLinux + Xfce is doing good for me i want my desktop to be a desktop i dont want all this tablet bullshit on screen

I will not use Windows 8! I am sticking to Windows 7 until Windows 9 comes out and then see what that has and I might upgrade then.

I have a desktop not a tablet and don't want that stupid Metro UI shite X-(

JGM.

 

[Djlatino]

Jesus doesn't anyone know how explorer.exe works? It can be altered. Meaning that tablet metro UI bullshit can be taken out...

Anyways, I'm kind of still debating whether I should upgrade through piracy or not.. Once I get the funds (which is pretty soon), I'll probably pay. For now, its through piracy, and that's for personal reasons.

Hell no it is a POS it 80% for tablets

 

[Bretteo]

Warez.

Im still a little bit on the fence about this. I dont like the touch-screen feel of windows 8, but I do agree that a single OS for all devices is a good thing. Its hard because the current trend is heading towards mobile devices, and the market for desktop PC's is falling rapidly. Its a "damned if you do/dont" situation.

My personal feelings are that I missed the boat when it comes to facebook/twitter/etc.. I dont understand why they are so popular, yet they are, hugely, and the same goes for Win8. I dont "get it". But i didnt with facebook either, so that would mean that its "me" that doesnt get it, and not that its a "fail idea". As a .net software developer I'm forced to work with growing trends whether I like/understand them or not, so Im going in with an open mind and giving it a fair chance. I certainly like the minimalistic feel of windows 8. You get the feeling that a lot of the bloat has been removed and replaced with simpler, optimized alternatives.

I will most likely purchase a legit copy and download a bootloader, because Microsoft's limit of 25 "online validations" is annoying after a few months. I re-install more than i change my socks tbh. Still, I shall support the Microsoft boat by purchasing a copy.

I am a Windows 7 user. I will sure give windows 8 a try

 

[Gooseman]

I was afraid that I was the only one who thought at warez... )

 

[callado]

I would pay for Windows 8.

 

[CyberAff]

i don't know how is it going to be, i might stick to windows 7

 

[tut2tut]

I would pay for Windows 8.

 

[NoEnD]

Will stick to windows7 until they release SP1 to win8.
The first release is always buggy. And warez version all the way.

 

[DoggY DoG]

I will downgrade it to windows xp from windows 7 but never ever upgrade to win 8 because win 8 is actually made for tablet pc not for real computers. Windows 8 looks good on tablet not on desktops or laptops.

I will wait for windows 9 :P

 

[Heath]

I would rather get a small touch screen computer with windows 8 for the living room, hook it up to the regular tv, and use it as a tablet to control the sound/tv/ect. like a remote control that lets me surf the web as I watch tv ;-)

 

[WebMonster]

i will not update at all until i knwo its working well enough . :P

 

[gojmgo]

I'm going to try it on my laptop first and if I feel comfortable using it, I might install it on my desktop as well. I'll use warez version ofc.

 

[b1gj4v]

sticking with Windows 7

 

[TLK]

Getting a win 8 tab

 

[Yud!]

I am looking forward to buying the Microsoft's Intel Based Surface Tablet with Windows 8 when it comes out.
THAT would be the Real tablet according to me. The whole/actual computer in your hands (y)

 

[Cometolearn]

yeah of course i will try, win 8 must be with new features
