Windows 8 Consumer Preview download now available

Installed tested and uninstalled.

Like 2 operating systems nailed together badly, Easy enought to switch between metro and default desktop. Removing the start menu was just *****ic in my opinion, All the original windows options are still in there, yet buried under multiple fancy graphics options pages and really a pain to navigate to,

Graphics performance dropped by a frame using furmark,

Offers nothing new over previous releases, does the same as previous releases badly.

Dont bother unless you plan to use it in a cabinet mounted touchscreen pc.

Installed great from DVD onto bare drive for me, runs pretty good to, though to be quite honest, I just don't like it. Don't mean to be negative, but, well, it's friggin ugly, really, after decades of doing this, and having billions of dollars, top designers and artists, and that's it? Starts off with a picture of a beta fish, of the quality you'd see on Windows 3.1 maybe, and the desktop tiles are really plain to, lacks much artistic value, and they changed so much, which wouldn't be so bad if it was actually for the better. I use both Windows 7 and XP daily, and Windows XP still way outperforms Windows 7 for all my tasks on half the RAM and slower CPU, still my favorite for production and customization themes.

But that's just me, I know many of you will love it and that's just fine, have fun. Though I do have a question, I couldn't get the Windows USB tool to create a bootable USB, it copies all files and then gives an error about BOOTSECT unable to make USB bootable, anyone got this working from USB?
