| What do you think about Windows 8?
Since alot of people think W8 sucks I figured I'd hear with you guys.
I think Windows 8 is good I like GUI and I think it's snappy and has a handy way of switching between apps and tabs.
But hey people have gotten paranoid about Windows because of Windows 8.
Now people don't wan't anything else than Windows 7.
How do you like Windows 8? |

| I prefer Windows 7, but I like Windows 8 as well.
I feel like the layout is more suitable for tablets though. |

| I have an Acer Aspire laptop that is amazing with W8. My desktop I have W8 as well. It does a much better job utilizing resources than W7 for music/video editing.
For all the negativity out there about it, I believe people never gave it a fair chance. This is coming from a guy who loved his old Mac G5 workstation. |

| I'd personally stick with Windows 7 since it's a reliable operating system and is great for pretty much everything. Windows 8 is fairly new and it looks like people are always having problems with it.
My girlfriend got a Windows 8 laptop and it was always shutting down by itself along with some other issues. She returned it and got another laptop with the same OS and it had the same problem. My windows phone also does this sometimes, and gets stuck on a black screen and the only way to restart it is to pop the battery out. |

| I use Windows 8 on a laptop. It isn't bad, I mean it took a lot of getting used to, really it did, but I'm glad I did. The only thing I really hate is the *oops I moved the mouse to the right but my computer thinks I'm trying to switch between apps and now my mom sees a picture of Darian with ass holes for his eyes that Mikkel made* yeah that part isn't cool. But yeah it's a pretty nice thing I guess. Never tried 7, only XP, so it was a huge adjustment, but yeah I like it better. |
