Looks good.

And I can still say that I prefer 7 over this...

Windows 8 made my laptop's functions malfunction, and my laptop isn't that old. :huh:  I had to switch back to Windows 7 in order to get my laptop to work properly again. Then again, me and technology have never really got along that well.

So, is this going to be a free update to the current Windows 8? I'm hoping so, as it looks to have really improved the OS.

My only problem is that Windows 8 is trying hard to make touchscreen and desktop computing one whole things. I'd rather stick to Windows 7, even if the update brings some better things to the table.

Windows 8... The whole thing is designed to work best with touchscreen computers, I dun't liek it!

I have Windows 8 but don't have a touchscreen and it's firetrucking amazing. Best OS ever. It's so fast, I have had no issues with it and I use my computer a lot.

Yeah it's fast all right, the second computer in my house is Windows 8. But I just can't get a grip of it. Maybe because there's no 'Start' icon in the corner of the screen, feels weird, and some functions are just too complicated or useless, something you don't need on a computer I guess.

I like still prefer Windows 7.

ehh Windows 8 has become better after they fixed some stupid bugs when it came out, but I don't really like how it looks. At first glance it was cool, but I prefer simpler design of Windows 7. Don't really see it being any faster, depends on computer and how much you have stuff on hard drives.

Design isn't much different in terms of the desktop. It's definitely faster. I've seen it make shitty old netbooks that ran Windows 7 a lot faster.

I got my laptop for Christmas... so like half a year

it has Windows 8 and it likes to crash occasionally. my desktop I've owned for 3 years with Windows 7 still works fine o3o

Might be your computer and not Windows 8.
