NeoShocker Interstellar eXodus The Retirement Club 169	Posted - 2013.04.15 06:46:00 - [1] - Quote Been using Win7 since it came out. For the past few months, this windows 8 pro been sitting on my desk because I've been busy. Now with free time, I can reformat the PC I've been wanting to do. But the question is, should I keep using Windows 7? Or switch to Windows 8? I really don't know. Maybe those with Windows 8 experience can give me their opinions? Would appreciate it. :)
Onyx Nyx Euphoria Released Verge of Collapse 324	Posted - 2013.04.15 06:52:00 - [2] - Quote Any of the software that you currently use that require Windows 8 or is it a feature Windows 8 that you cannot get through 3rd party software in Windows 7? If not, stick with Windows 7. I kill kittens, and puppies and bunnies. I maim toddlers and teens and then more.

Concurssi Mellenar Federal Navy Academy Gallente Federation 8	Posted - 2013.04.15 08:20:00 - [4] - Quote I'd stick with Windows 7. Better user experience and less spyware. http://log.nadim.cc/?p=78
Rain6637 Team Evil 874	Posted - 2013.04.15 11:17:00 - [5] - Quote windows 8 is better at handling my processor if you have a computer that works with WIndows 7, I think you should stay with 7. if it's a new computer, though, that's the time to try a new OS like WIndows 8.. plus it's wasteful to sink two OS serials on the same machine http://themittani.com/ \| http://evenews24.com/ \|\| Vincent Athena-á\|\|-áflycatcher waaaaat

What I have here is retail windows 8. Does it stick to specific PC like OEM from earlier windows versions? I'm actually out of track on that one.

The license is transferable on windows 8 if you bought the copy yourself, if its one that came with a pre-built computer your out of luck with a transfer. Set Lasers for Fun!!!

Rain6639 Team Evil 247	Posted - 2013.04.16 06:39:00 - [10] - Quote I find metro useful I use the windows key now, and to search a program I start typing and press enter. gets me to "calc" a lot, without taking my fingers off the keyboard. EDM? you mean EFM

Concurssi Mellenar Federal Navy Academy Gallente Federation 9	Posted - 2013.04.16 20:15:00 - [14] - Quote Ctrl-Esc opens the task manager for me. Pressing the Windows key, however, opens the start menu, into which I can just type the first couple of letters and get the calculator, or whatever else I'm looking for.
Akita T Caldari Navy Volunteer Task Force 1703	Posted - 2013.04.16 20:17:00 - [15] - Quote Don't know... that may be because of how I have my stuff set up - first thing I do on any fresh Win install is bring back the UI to "Win98SE" specs (in Win7, that would be classic start menu, classic theme, and a few other things - it takes a while). http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/User:Akita_T T2 BPO poll: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=114789 Buying this: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=147098

Haha, gotta move on dude. Talked with several people, most people opt out the "metro" and to the windows 7 style UI. Kinda defeats the purpose of having windows 8.

Wait for the next window. The next one will be good . On a side note . Fancy seeing you here Neo. Long time eh?

Processors? You do understand the majority of the scheduling is done via UMS right ? Windows 8 and 7 are both running similar algorithms Read up if you wanna .

Haha, gotta move on dude. Why ? It's just bells, whistles and other pointless decorations. Functionally, it's pretty much the same (or close enough for me), but visually, it's distracting and therefore disruptive. So, really, why do I "got" to move on ? Rain6639 wrote: anything short of calc brings me to other programs....... I am curious, what else do you have installed that pops up for just "cal" ? Quote: windows 7 doesn't know how to schedule my processors. can't say that enough. it just won't do Could you elaborate on that ? What CPU are we talking about, on which precise windows version ? I know you said something in the past, but I forgot (I think it was some way-too-many-cores AMD on Win7Pro64, but I am not 100% sure). And, you know, objectively, what are the actual symptoms ? That, I don't remember at all what you ever mentioned (if you did, I can't recall). http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/User:Akita_T T2 BPO poll: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=114789 Buying this: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=147098
