Windows 8, NO SPAM!!!!! Options

[Rukiri]

So the shiny new OS from Redmond, WA is about to hit stores on Friday. What I like about windows 8 is the fact that performance wise(only reason why I'm upgrading my dev system) it's superior to windows 7. The start orb was added back and can easily be added back through the registry, all the gadgets can be added back with third party tools but never used them of course I use conky when need to.

The Metro Ui... well it's pretty and a big full screen start menu and that's how I'm going think when in Metro as that's really all it is if you use the desktop.

And it'll only set you back $139.99 or $70 if you're upgrading. I'd personally just go with a fresh install.

Looks good in my opinion - I don't see the big hangup about the new start menu / screen.

I read a funny article about it actually. started out that with the guy appearing to really slate the new start menu. then he pointed out that all those comments were from tech articles about the new start menu in XP.

Will probably stick to 7 at the moment. As I have no real need to upgrade, my CPU does absolutely everything i want it too.
I also spent AGES customizing my video folders
(tile view, with ever movie and tv programme in it's own folder, folder with custom icon of the film poster)

So i will be sticking with win 7 for a while
