And there's this Metro UI... God damn it! It turns your PC into a weird Android device with about the same functionality (colorful buttons, internet and calculator).
Also in the final release it's nos so easy to turn it off as it was on customer/developer preview version.
You might try this: http://classicshell.sourceforge.net/ to get the startmenu back in Win 8 and disable the metro screen.
But really it's only a matter of time until your pc becomes crowded with unwanted software, a bloated registry and zillions of things to do when you login.
Every single time Microsoft releases a new OS people say "it's so much faster"

That is, if you are unable to keep your computer clean. Everyone else enjoys pretty much the same "speed" for years.
But why does it has to tear down everything if I actually want all this shit ? I don't remember UNIX-based systems having the same flaw.
It has nothing to do with the system, it's the application developer's fault for releasing bloated pieces of shit, abusing auto-startup/services and creating uninstallers that don't remove everything.
With Linux it's slightly better because of package management, making it harder for developers to do damage.

Well I tried Windows 8 for work in a VMWare and I have to admit, it really feels smoother than previous versions. And thats not only because its a fresh install. Personally I'll stay with Win7 for a while, I give Win8 a try in some months maybe, not before. And I don't like that Metro stuff... its shit on a non-touch-device.This.
creating uninstallers that don't remove everything.
I was thinking about testing 8 in VMWare too since I can get it for free from my University but I found out that the Pro version is atm only available in English... Until I can get a German Pro version I won't even think about touching it. I am lazy that way... 8-)
Besides, maybe waiting for the first service pack for 8 would be smart move. Haven't really decided yet. Not to mention that my 7 is running just fine right now and as we all know "Never change a running system!"
Going to wait a bit before buying it, i read that the current version is somewhat unstable at times and that they just wanted to release it as soon as possible.
isn't it released yet?
Which again is a flaw of the Windows system... you can't simply remove everything you installed, because some DLL might be used by some other program. No one ever knows...
Win 8 has less active processes running than Win 7 and it's a bit faster. Problem is Metro interface (the most idiotic thing ever invented).
cRPG beta client works just fine on Win 8.
October 25 from what i know.
what?? those copycats! October is reserved for something else! UBUNTU!...
anyway, if you want me to post screens of what i got (basically it's what they are releasing) just let me know.
So i finally installed c-RPG on my Win8 pro and i would like to share the experience with you guys, so you'll have a clearer picture of what it's like.
First of all, i would like to tell you about advantages of Win8 over Win7:
The first thing that comes into mind is the new improved memory usage. It's just much more clean and less greedy :) Better drivers support, of-course and SPEED!
On my Win7 ultimate i would click on the visual studio 2012 icon and go make a coffee.. for everybody... But not on win8! It fires up MS software about 5 times faster and I am not exaggerating!
But, as it's usual with MS along with the good stuff comes the shit... You would sometimes disconnect from the internet for no particular reason and need to restart the PC :/ Sometimes disconnecting LAN cable might work, but most of the time it won't. And there's this Metro UI... God damn it! It turns your PC into a weird Android device with about the same functionality (colorful buttons, internet and calculator).
Also in the final release it's nos so easy to turn it off as it was on customer/developer preview version.
Now for the cRPG part:
While playing on maximum settings (no v. sync), on win7 i would sometimes get those annoying freezes and my fps would drop down to 30 :/ On win8 I dont get that as often, the minimum fps i got so far was 90, which makes a HUGE difference. In terms of MP I get much less lag and hit-through-block, then i would get on win7, but sometime i teleport for like 10 feet or so. So i can't really tell you that in this term it's that much better.
So, I'm not really sure whether I'll switch completely to win8 yet, but if you get the chance to try it out for free, i suggest you do it, just for the fun of it. As for myself, I wouldn't buy it. I got it for free via MSDN subscription (along with a lot of other software :P )
I'll also try c-RPG on Ubuntu 12.10 when it comes out, so stay tuned :)

I tried Win 8, a lot of programs could not run on it. also the whole standard desktop and layout felt like it belonged on a tablet.
No nay never, no never no more will I use Windows 8.
No boot from USB/disc ... you know, on the off chance you want to run a linux disc to fix something, supposedly a 'security feature', but the amount of worry I have of a co-worker booting my HOME PC into some nefarious code is exactly zero.
Can't use Ubuntu, hate Unity (tried it 3 times so far, no success). Too lazy to install Cinnamon on Ubuntu so I'll probably install Linux Mint.
