Just got it installed and on my network not bad Micro, not bad. Took a while to get used to getting around the OS without the iconic start button sigh yet all things must come to a end kinda like the jump from 3.11 to 95, but I digress I put the 64 bit on my Think Center and it runs smoothly it found and install all the drivers for the system. I downloaded Chrome, and a few games and they too ran great. Will try a few more apps, but as for now it looks great like the way you can jump from one screen/app to another. As for the way they have the desktop now I like keeps it hidden away so all you people out there with a clutter on your desktop now you can hide it like the clutter in your closest.

Windows 8 promises to be a load of old toffee.

I was hoping for something better. This seems like a cheap attempt to sell Windows classes to people.
The feature where you go to the new Desktop where you can search for apps, does not find the items I am looking for. I have to go and search Google on how to find these items.
I will not move to Windows 8. I am very happy with Windows 7. Windows 7 is geared to the Desktop PC user. Windows 8 is geared for a phone user. There will still be millions of people using their desktop PC's. Not everyone can afford a fancy Windows phone and phone data plan. Heck there are still millions of people that are still just getting their 1st PC. Windows 8 does not encourage new Desktop PC users to use Windows 8, they will probably opt for an Apple OS.
