Windows 8

Its upto you. I don't find any piracy here. Microsoft themselves release the KMS activation keys, and then include a bug in the Media Center update(free for now) which would get my Windows licensed. Btw, I don't get the sarcasm there.

No i aldrady did the same but no server found error occured.So was quite amused when you said you had succeeded.Maybe you can share the windows iso link,kms activator and the key you used to activate it if you dont mind??

Inspite of the serious concerns for users over the Win 8 interface, Windows 8 has outpaced Windows 7 in upgrades

Microsoft has sold 40 million Windows 8 licenses so far | The Verge

Once older Windows users start seeing that Windows 8 is actually cool and gives them a new way of accessing the PC's and also giving them performance enhancements, they will adopt and the next version of Windows should see really good sales... Inspite of this drastic change in the UI, MS has achieved good sales. Kudos!:clap
 
^ doesn't surprise me at all. Windows 8 is a beauty. Just takes a little time getting used to it.
 
Got a key and used Windows 8 for 4-5 days but dint like it.Too much of complexities.I dont like the live tiles things tbh.Till Windows 7,MS had the classical style and i loved it right from 95-7.I never got bored of it.Now after being fed up with windows 8,i totally dumped MS and i have started to use my favourite and the best OS ever:


LINUX

If you loved Windows 7, you can still use Windows 8 just like you used Windows 7, with the Desktop tile. Once you login to Windows, you get to the live tiles screen. Click on "Desktop" tile and you will get into the classic desktop that existed in Windows 7. Here, you can have the usual icons on the desktop like Windows 7. In fact with this fix, you can login directly to the desktop screen

Oh cha!I should have waited for 1 more day.This tutorial looks good enough.Now i need to reinstall again :(
 
Windows 8 is okay by the look of it until I tried it at the store. To be honest, it's actually quite hard to slide through the menu in the touch screen menu, or whatever you call it and it's very hard to like exit an application that you opened in which you didn't want it to be opened. I like the old style of Windows which you can still get on Windows 8 but I think most people would say the next Windows OS should be better than this current OS if you asked me.

It does take a little getting used to. But once you understand it , it is a gem to work with.

The one think that peed me off when I downloaded it was it got rid of all my Microsoft Office programs (e.g Word, Excel) had to buy a new set for ?20.
 
Upgraded to original Windows 8 now.Lets see if i can get used to it.But wait,i found a problem,my fingerprint sensor and ATI RADEON GRAPHIC CARD DRIVERS wont install in it.They just stay stuck at installing..i have left it over a day,why is that?Any idea Sai or anyone else?
 
Welcome windows 8.1 preview. Looks pretty good so far, the changes are geared towards touch screen devices in particular redesign of the touch keyboard and ie11. Would have been good if they added the ability to multi window horizontal as well as vertically. And seems they got rid f 3 apps in multitasking from the beta as I can't do it.
 
Happy that the Start Menu is coming back with Windows 8.1. I wish Microsoft allows people to use Windows like how it used to be before (which is, to boot straight into the Desktop and not into the Metro UI screen). Booting into the Desktop should be given as an option (which is what Windows 8.1 is doing; so happy), and users should be allowed to use it as a permanent option if they want to. That will tremendously increase Windows 8.1 selling power. Its like pleasing both worlds.

I installed Windows 8 in my parent's desktop, but after 2 months, I have now completely wiped it out and took them back to Windows 7. And now, they are happy. They hated W8. And even me, I am just so used to the classic desktop mode that I almost never use the Metro UI screen.
