With press reports (except the MSN marketing schpiel) not favoring Windows 8, what is the EvE community experience with specifically EvE and Windows 8?
Do you fall into the Windows M8 or Windows H8 category

I think the next couple years should work out very well...for Linux.
Maybe CCP will consider a Linux version of EVE again? "It's no use crying over spilt milk, because all the forces of the universe were bent on spilling it." ~William Maugham |

I find it amusing how Windows has a cycle of releasing a bad successor to its OS... then a good one... then a bad one... then a good one again.
I swear, it seems almost intentional.
Or maybe this is the cause? Change isn't bad, but it isn't always good. Sometimes, the oldest and most simple of things can be the most elegant and effective. |

No opinion on 8 myself, haven't had any experience with it, but based on the reviews and such I prob wont get it. The Drake is a Lie |

Using it on working machine and gaming PC. Works fine, no big issues with any games.
I understand why ppl complain about the new Windows, but it's just that something is uncommon. It's faster, as reliable as Win7. No need to upgrade from Win7, but also perfect if you buy new hardware and get it for free. Wir (alle 25+ Jahre alt) suchen Mitspieler, m+¦glichst (aber nicht nur) mit Headset (Teamspeak 3).

Any "alt-tabbers" out there that have windows 8?

I think 2k was ntfs before ntfs systems officially replaced fat32 systems for general home use (introduced with XP). I replace that with Win98SE for the correct cycle.
No plans for win8 here, not until win9 which falls into the correct working cycle (every other OS). Hope win9 ditches the metro crud, I already have jelly bean. |

Fair point 98 was pretty good, it's still a mainstay of my PC fixing toolkit, especially with some of the old crap I get to fix. Always bet on stupid, CCP can't patch stupid Corporations Sales, hisec POS rights |

Fair point 98 was pretty good, it's still a mainstay of my PC fixing toolkit, especially with some of the old crap I get to fix. 98 was rough, 98SE was good. Win95(good) -> Win98(bad) -> Win98SE(good) The branch was NT3 -> NT4 -> Win2000; for work group NTFS / Server NTFS. Work group ntfs merged with FAT32 OS's while server ntfs went to server editions. At least that's my understanding of it. I don't think the rule applies to pre-XP ntfs systems, as I luv linux servers and all ntfs systems pre-XP sux imo.
BTW there are some excellent linux distros for PC fixing, obviously since they are live CD's and can run directly on the damaged windows system w/o need for a diagnostic card if not physically damaged extensively.

I thought win8 had like a mode that WAS windows 7, either way, I don't want windows 8, I really like win7 it does everything I want it too and things seem to run fine, even some of the older games I play ( total annihilation, roller coaster tycoon 3, ect)

I just checked my disk, it is indeed 98SE, as for the linux distros I use them as well as the slightly naughty Hirens CD, UBCD and UBCD4win. 98SE is still pretty handy for making the odd boot floppy/cd that adds USB booting to machines without bios support for it, especially as most of my fixit kit is on a usb stick, I tend to keep the Live CDs as ISO images and just rework the stick once in a while.

I can understand why most people shun Linux.
They really want something one step up from an Xbox.
Wonder if Steams 'Big Picture' can change all that?

At first I hated 8. Now I've become familiar with where everything is again I don't really mind it. It hasn't really done anything new compared to 7 though. |

You guys need to stfu. Win8 is better than 7 in every conceivable way!
Disk read/write speeds are faster, you can now pause file copying/moving, the ui is more responsive, the OS uses available hardware better and more efficiently, boot and shutdown times are less than half what they were in 7, networking has been improved thus browsing and downloading is now faster.
But yeah, go ahead spreading misinformation and talking right out of your asses with complete disregard for facts. omniscient omnipotent omnipresent without judgement |

That is nice (and true). But than new UI is not PC friendly. It is Tablet friendly. An i play on PC not on Tablet. GÇ£If reality can destroy the dream, why shouldn't the dream destroy reality?GÇ¥ |

That is the single valid complaint anyone could have, but even that is purely subjective, as it's a matter of taste. I personally prefer metro ui over the start menu in 7. Sleeker look, bigger and more icons, improved search etc. omniscient omnipotent omnipresent without judgement |

My biggest beef is the UX of Win8.
As someone said, touchscreens has been around for ages and there's a reason why it wasn't used on tabletop computers for work. It puts a huge strain on your arms and daily work is better with mouse/keyboard.
Basically I don't want people to touch my screen when I work. It's fine with tablets though.
So, win8 tablets may be nice, but it's a huge step backwards by any UX measure for pc users. |

Yea, but for guy like me, with desktop resolution 3240x1920 (PPP eyefinity) and screen size 41", metro is just unusable

Exactly. Im not saying that W8 is bad. I think its more better than any OS for tablets, also winPhone8 is fantastic. But W8 is not ergonomic for PC users (keyboard+mouse) and huge step backward in usability GÇ£If reality can destroy the dream, why shouldn't the dream destroy reality?GÇ¥ |

I beg to differ. Once you get passed metro ( which can, btw, be disabled altogether) it's only slightly different from 7 (the ribbon menu), but there are no changes that could negatively impact usability. omniscient omnipotent omnipresent without judgement |

Metro is a much better interface especially for internet explorer. I like having the FULL screen used and NO menus unless I hover my mouse UP top, also going back and forth between pages is also great because you just touch the left or right side of the monitor and poof an arrow appears. WAY better navigation.
The boot times are faster, the graphics look fantastic and I can alt tab without ANY dcd. There is nothing to get PAST for the interface, the interface is better then what we had before in every way and makes it much easier to navigate. |

search & replace: Win8 with macos/linux/etc and 7 with Windows, and if you use a windows based it infrastructure email the resulting text to your network administrator.

I actually prefer Windows 8 to 7, apart from the new UI (which you dont really have to use).
I think a lot of the good stuff with Windows 8 Desktop has been overlooked because of the cruddy interface thats meant for tablets, I just stick it in desktop mode and then im good. It seems to run faster on my machine and has a few nice improvements and is running my eve with absolutly no problems. |

Funny, it's working just fine for me. Metro shows up on one screen, while I can use something else on the other. I just think of metro as the start menu. It's open for minimal times, just when I'm starting stuff up.
