Well yesterday I got my operating system upgraded on my Inspiron due to Windows 8 beta, and I've noticed now that it acts just like an iPad would if it wasn't touch screen. So I wanted to know everyone's opinion on the new system,even if you've seen it or not.

Later I will post pics of how it looks for all that haven't seen it yet :OK:

Here's some views of the new system:

internet explorer


and then the desktop which has changed a bunch

Looks cool :o

I dont like one thing..
Win Vista -> Win7 -> Win8.. all are looking almost same.. Win8 should change whole GUI* :o
Win7 and 8 have same start, and + Vista has same desktop icons etc etc etc..

This is how i really think windows is going:
Windows 95 (alpha) > Windows 98 (Beta) > Windows 2000 (Piece of shit) > Windows ME (Another piece of shit) > Windows NT (Ugh) > Windows 2000 (First working one) Windows XP (Updated and good version of 2000) > Windows Vista (Shit) > Windows 7 (Upgraded shit from Vista) > Windows 8 (Cycle restarts) > Windows 95.

What that means is that the Win 8 is going to be confusing like 95.
Reminds too much of Nokia lumia and touch screen PC

Windows XP was, and still is, the best in my opinion. I downgraded my laptop to XP from Vista. Vista sucks and uses more RAM.

Windows 8 looks weird and I don't really like it at all.

Ya not having a touch screen computer screen or computer really affects with the look and function of the new system. And as informed by windows the GUI wont change much until windows 9 or maybe windows 8 since I have the beta test version

Ye, Win8's metro looks like you should touch it, but you cant :)

My friend is using WIN8 on his laptop and he likes it! :) I have also tried it on my server pc but I have the linux back on it :)

Apart from spelling such a simple word wrong, Windows, I don't exactly care for Windows 8.

It'll turn out like shit, it's Microsoft's way of trying to catch up with the market, but they fail to realize that they aren't the ones who regulate the construction of their systems, so they can't have everything be a touch screen. Apple could pull this off since they have the whole market on macs.
