What do you think of windows 8? (link to video of windows 8 included)

Here is a link to a 30 minute demonstration of windows 8.

IMO I really think this will suck for gamers. It looks like microsoft is trying to recreate the ipad for all computers.

Would you buy it? Why and why not? What features do you think it will have that will improve on windows 7, or do you think it will be another vista(failure).

I'll tell you when Windows 8 is out

thats the tablet version.:P

I think I'll stop using XP when there's something actually wrong with it. Though I reckon when that happens I'll move over to linux since I'll have to get used to a new operating system anyway.Gallion-Beast

I'm glad they allow you to use different looks but it is a little strange that Microsoft and Apple are using smart phone OS on their computersMBSiMMENS

What I meant about windows 8 is that it's basicly as ipad. With a windws 7 app on it. Windows had a great thing going on and now they're trying to copy apple. And there isn't a tablet version, as he said it's all one version of windows, looks the same but he mainly shows it using the tablet. When he showed the desktop version it really didn't look that good, it's like taking the great mobility of having the touch screen away. Imagine if you have an ipod touch or an ipad, now instead of having a touch screen, put a mouse in there. I don't want to "diss" it too much but unless it presents something that doesn't look like apple rip off crap I'm not going to buy it. If I wanted an ipad I would buy one.

I think the idea is nice but as long as it has an option to run like Windows 7 with the taskbar and all that, I will just run it that way.

As long as they don't design it around touch screen technology for the desktop, I don't care. **** touchscreens for desktops, I'll use my keyboard and mouse thank you very much.

Agreed. Otherwise, I'll just stick with Windows 7.

I usually skip a generation, so I'll more than likely wait for Windows 9. I would go full time Linux, but there's some windows programs that I can't compute without.

7 works well enough for me.
