Moving to Windows 8



I am now almost 2 months in to Windows 8. This is my review.

If you like Windows 7, install Start8 for Windows® 8 - Bringing back the Windows Start menu and use it exactly like Windows 7. There is almost no difference in the day to day.

You have some new toch style menus, but all in all it's pretty much the same.

I'm interested to try out a Windows 8 tablet for a bit. Being able to have a tablet that functions like a tablet, but a pc when docked would be pretty slick I think.

Wish one of the linux distros would follow MS on the flat look, very nice.

This almost makes me want to stick with XP.
 
I've been using it since release preview with minimal errors. Only found one program that doesn't work well (Supermemo), but other than that it's fine. I wish MS would go full retard with the tiling features. Any tiling implementation I've tried for Windows doesn't quite work very well. I end up using tiletab for Firefox and using workspaces to separate fullscreen Windows. What I want is to be able to run Metro apps in a Window.
