So How is Windows 8, guys?

[Tsujan9484]

I just installed it today. Found the original copy in *coughs* torrent *coughs*.

Looks pretty cool and yeah it's a hell lot faster than Win 7. I am loving it.

So you guys installed it? How is it?

 

[AsianTown]

Haven't installed. But I will.... O_O

A friend of mine just got it (legally, I might add) and the Surface.

She likes it a whole lot, but she also only uses it for internet, Skype, and Word. So it's not like she's maxing out its potential.

That said, I'll probably eventually get it, but I don't have any incentive to upgrade my current computer. I'll get it on my next device.

 

[Eano]

it sucks... okay, is fast as hell but i wouldn't buy W8, W7 - a ways better...

(using W8, W7, Vista but prefer Mac OS)

 

[Unatural]

Its epic

 

[Loome]

I dont know, because I dont wanna use it.
I may be a hipster, but I dont like it.
Plus: I am an AMV maker, I usualy use the maximum potential of my computer, and the graphics are just 1gb, and it slows down the whole stuff.
Expecting a laptop if I finish the 8th grade with 9.90 out of 10.

I've had the release preview for a while now, I love it.
And I'm getting a W8 convertible next week

Windows 8 is bad, and you should feel bad for installing it!

 

[Paintry4]

I dont think win8 will work out good in all countries and nations.many apps will not work properly in win 8 like win vista or win7

 

[Shadowkiller56]

I want my PC to be a PC, not a phone. That's why I'm not bothering with Windows 8. Sticking with good old 7.

W8 has a desktop like W7 had, it has everything W7 had + more, plus it's faster.

No it's not. :| That is why I am not feeling bad about it.

Well I have not looked into every apps but yeah you are right, not every apps will work. But who cares. As long as the apps i use works.

well Win 8 does have a desktop.

You seriously stole it? Why? You do realize it's only a hundred bucks, right? It's barely a 6th of what a computer costs and people spent a lot of time and money to make that. -_-

OT: There's a general rule with Windows, you always skip the next one. xd For example, 98 was good, 2000 was bad, XP was good, Vista was bad, 7 is good...so 8 must be bad. I'm just going to wait for the next one, this one is just a learning stage. Also, from the reviews it seems like 8 really on shines for touch screen devices. Supposedly it also has a split personality where it switches modes or something...scary...sounds like the switch between DOS and Windows to me. :/

100 bucks for you maybe..... where the thread maker comes from 100 bucks is a very big deal to give for something you can get free lol

True, and not trying to be an arse here, but if you can't afford something, then you don't need it. xd There is no justification for piracy. If it wasn't for the pirates, we wouldn't even be hearing about laws being discussed to control the internet. Piracy needs to stop at least just so the rest of us law-abiding citizens can live with freedom.

You are so right, converting 100 bucks into my currency is like Rs 8,900 which is a great sum. And again, you cannot just buy the OS at that price, all those taxes, shipping, and other charges will make the cost triple means around 300 bucks.

And only a fool would spend that much money for the product you can get for free. :|

You do know that NB hosts copy righted material, right? Naruto Anime is copyrighted material of TV Tokyo, the manga belongs to Kishi and Jump Comics. NB hosts torrents and free downloads which actually is illegal.

Windows being a popular OS in the market is also because there are pirated versions easily available in the internet. I agree piracy needs to be stopped but then again I know the reality that it won't. Yeah encouraging piracy is wrong but that is the only way to enjoy new releases of software.

100 bucks? You got ripped.
I upgraded mine for 15 dollars.
Anyways i like the interface. The only thing i hate is my hardware is pretty outdated so some of
my drivers don't install properly.

How are people fools for legitimately buying copies of Windows 8 or anything else? If not for them, people like yourself wouldn't have software to pirate so easily. In a way, you should actually be grateful.

It was meant in my context not you people's. U_U

I do buy legitimate software as long as I can afford them.

Uh-oh, this is now a Jack Sparrow thread. :rofl:

Actually, all the stuff here on NB is legal. You see, it's one giant ad for Naruto. It's hard to explain how this works, but in a way Kishi is making more money off this site than a lot of other things. If it wasn't something he liked, if he didn't like his manga being out there for free, then he'd take it down...but why would he remove one of his greatest advertisements? Everything that's sold that has anything to do with Naruto, he gets a piece of. That means toys, costumes etc. Now if this was just something hidden away like some piracy thing, then he wouldn't like that at all, but as it stands, things like this site are what's making him all his money.

I didn't buy it. :| The price is low right now since they're just wanting to get it out there and have people test it for them and find bugs. Also, that's the upgrade price too. xd When I switch OS, I build a new computer...there's no point in not doing so since a computer really only lasts for 3-6 years...it's not like a car. xd
