My laptop is on Windows 8 right now and I LOVE IT! So smooth, fast, and very nice to look at. :D
ReplyDeleteSo far, I'm loving my windows 8 on my lappy. So new and refreshing, I love its new interface.
ReplyDeleteMaybe its that feeling of resisting change but if I may be honest, the first look of Windows 8 does not make it look easy for me. I guess I prefer my options to be in a folder arranged as a list instead of all of it right in front of me. I do like their viral video though. The tune is catchy.
ReplyDeleteI'm not very updated with the latest programs and apps, but if this Windows 8 will really make my life especially my job easier, I'm all for it! Hope it's released in the Philippine market real soon!
ReplyDeleteWow! ... and sooner or later there will be Windows 9, 10, 11.. I'm happy with Windows 7 but am looking forward to what Windows 8 is in store for me maybe in 2 years! LOl!
ReplyDeleteWindows 8 seems to be user-friendly and easy to navigate but we're still using the XP for the desktop and Windows 7 starter in laptop. I don't have plans of changing since converting is expensive I guess.
ReplyDeleteI prefer to be on the spectator side for the time being. I mean, I will wait for the embedded issues and concerns addressed first before finally migrating my existing system :)
ReplyDeleteI'm also fascinated with the windows 8 that it keeps me getting back to see the laptops with windows 8. It's already available here in the country that I am in. In fact, I'm also considering to purchase one this Christmas as a gift to myself.
ReplyDeleteThis makes me think to upgrade my windows as soon as possible! I like the drag and drop feature of windows 8. =)
ReplyDeleteI tested W8 relatively early (before its release at least) and if you aren't on a touch-screen device, the adjustment is a bit frustrating. Other than that, it's a VERY pretty interface. I might upgrade by Q2 or Q3 next year as my W7 Pro is still very good.
ReplyDeleteI'm currently using the trial version of Windows 8 and I'm loving it. It's really refreshing, though I have to admit I had difficulty navigating through my system in the first few days. I think Microsoft has managed to reinvent its operating system just in time
