Re: Anyone running windows 8?

I don't upgrade until it looks like it works right.... pushing a release before it's really ready has happened too many times....

I didn't even know it was out. I have windows 7, windows 8 would have to be really good for me to pay the money to upgrade.

Re: Anyone running windows 8?

Doesn't come out until the end of next year, this is just the developers preview.

Windows 7 is the only windows I jumped on immediately when it came out.

Based off of Microsofts past history with their OS, looks like you will never be downloading Windows 8.


My IMac has been operating since 07 without a single crash.

One of my PC's has been operating since 07 and has had more crashes then I have fingers! (BTW I have all ten digits Lol)

I will say that my notebook with Windows 7 has not crashed in over a year of operation, so maybe they have improved their OS and Windows 8 will work.

From my experiences they start working right at the same time their replacements hit the shelves...............
