speed. windows 8 boots in less time than 7. and overall performance is faster.
new taskmanager
new file transfer

easy refresh of system

All of these are GUI changes (Not valid reasons.),Simpler to the average user. I know a friend who installed Windows 8 on his lappy and he doesn't mind at all. I actually started to use Internet Explorer and loved it for the first time in 5 years!

I think what people are tryin' to say in a nutshell is that MS has a tendency to release an unpolished OS way too early, even with the beta (longhorn anyone??) and yet they still released that piece of crap they now call "Vista". They gathered up the bugs, even when it was officially released and later announced "Windows 7" even with free upgrades for those who had vista (certain time range between when you bought your computer was taken to account, something that made me outraged because I was 1 week behind the month so I decided never to buy an OS again unless it was the computer itself).

Main point is, MS will come out with something new, very fast, just like they've done in the past. Meanwhile, you fanboys of Windows 8 will be the guinea pigs of MS.
 
Everyone is like holy fuck cow that's cheap

But

1. How many of you legitimately own windows 7 ?
2. If you dont own windows 7 its still going to be fucking expensive
2. Linux is free always will be

This reeks of desperation to force people into upgrading to this crap
 
I don't see the reason behind the windows 8 hate, I've been using it for a few weeks now and I got no complains.
 
I've no idea why do you pplz hate microsoft ? its the only company which is doing something trying to give something new if you don't want them to "experiment" you're just plain stupid.

they know what they are doing omg they created vista they suxxx oh good lord lol its the same company who gaves you xp and win 7 so calm down don't like em don't use em use linux/ubuntu/fedora those free ones i used them for a month but came back to microsoft.

Well its my opinion in the end.
 
@topic
I think this is great news for everyone. For Genuine users, 15$ is like a boon.

@people who read the posts that followed (i.e. #1 - #27)
Just ignore these comments. Nobody here really knows shit about Operating Systems.
Everyone thinks the UI that they're seeing is the actual OS.
 
I have genuine Vista in my laptop and XP in my Desktop and 7 in my bro's lappy....

Who said wj users don't use genuine content ?

WJ users Use both genuine / Pirate and then Fight on WJ ;)
 
another failed troll.

if you dont like windows 8. by all means. stay with windows 7. there are plenty of people that didnt like 7 and stuck with XP. and not everyone pirates their OS.

you say you used windows 8 for 5.5 hours... well. try using it for a week or more. then give your feedback.

note. ive been on windows 8 as a main OS since the beginning of the year. thats almost 5 full months. there are plenty of reasons why windows 8 is better than windows 7. its just your too butthurt about the start button being gone.

I haven't looked into Windows 8 AT ALL so this is all new to me, the part where you said that the start button is gone... Whats the deal with that then?
The start button is used for many things - for instance how would I open notepad or minesweeper or something normally located in the start menu?
Is the start menu still there? and the button itself is just gone or what?
 
OK guys. get back on topic. this is about windows 8 upgrade being only $15.

THIS IS NOT A LETS HATE ON WINDOWS 8 THREAD.

if you dont have anything useful to say then dont reply.
