Windows 8 / RT |OT|

Do you guys think that there's going to be some startup borne from this launch since people may have an easier time to make a name for themselves while the competition is minimal due to the relatively few apps in the store?

There's still a question of what app Windows Phone 8 devices will use to sync content, and will that app manage podcasts. Or will the whole that just be manual via file manager.
 
Got it installed! Whole process took about an hour. Upgraded over a relatively clean Windows 7 Home Premium install from a few months ago. Running very nicely so far!

Liking my MS Touch Mouse more and more. Only issues are the occasional right click and vertical scrolling. Gestures work nice to bring up charms, multi-task and bring up the app options.

Edit: Tweaked the some of the sensitivity settings, which helped the vertical scrolling.

Would you recommend buying one? I have been eye balling a new mouse with gesture support but I might get one of those stand alone touchpads.

Can I install Windows 8 on my Mac with Bootcamp?

I just did it. There was a problem with a few drivers, didn't have sound. I had to copy the bootcamp folder from my Leopard OS X disc to the desktop, and then run setup, and then run in compatibility mode. That did it, and now all is working well.
 
Just bored and downloading different wallpapers and I love that it has the option to tint your taskbar and desktop folders to match the tone of your wallpaper. Really nifty little feature.

Yep. Love the new UI.

Can't find a good wallpaper for the lock screen though.

I'm guessing I have to buy the $69.99 version since I don't have a previous version of Windows installed correct?

I would recommend it, some more impressions from others would be good though. I know it has had mediocre reviews but that was before the update drivers and W8 gesture support. I also picked up mine on sale so that helped as well.
 
If I'm running a technet version of win7, hows this upgrade thing gonna workout?

I want clean install as well.

Can't find a single 'buy windows 8 new with no prior anything' link on that windows sale site.
 
This is the image i'm using for the lock screen.

If I buy windows 8 pro download from store.microsoft.com, what do I get? Could I burn it to a usb stick and use it on a blank newly built pc? The whole "To install Windows 8 Pro, customers must be running Windows XP SP3, Windows Vista, or Windows 7." is scaring me off.

at first i thought there are only a few apps because its not even the release day (i installed it yesterday) but when i checked again this morning i was pretty shocked :D i mean, i don't care much but why even try then?
 
Battery indicator wasn't showing up on my Acer 3830TG, just fixed it though. Whew, thought there was a change to view the battery life.
 
So.. I'm downloading the upgrade offer to go from Win7HomePremium to Win8Pro.

I think installing this will wipe out the recovery partition of my OEM medion pc; thus I would have to re-install Win7 from the installation CD, right?

What about if the PC breaks and I have to send it to Medion for repair?
 
Shit having Windows 8 on my laptop and on my Home PC whilst having Windows 7 on my Office PC's is really fucking with my mojo....

I'm going to have to re-wire my brain twice a day to both OS's everyday it appears.

from which link? I don't find it in the store?

If I purchase all my components seperately for a pc and build it, where is the copy I buy? the store appears not to sell it.
