I would have liked to see two versions - a touch screen one and a non-touch screen one. BUT my biggest issue was the memory leak. I use an HP computer, and I'm starting to wonder if HP might be to blame. I'm saving up for the ASUS touchscreen Ultrabook, we'll see how that goes.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01019166115123688123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13066903.post-57219138516116148662013-04-19T06:08:51.801-07:002013-04-19T06:08:51.801-07:00I've been on 8 since beta. I'm running se...I've been on 8 since beta. I'm running several hundred 2012 servers (same interface as 8) , and I have to say that I love it. I bought a Surface Pro as quickly as I could. Best computer I've ever owned. Absolutely love the touch interface with 8.<br /><br />That said, my servers and work computers are NOT touch enabled. It's still not a bad experience. The hard part is the same as every new OS...figuring out where they moved stuff that I've been conditioned for years to find in the same old spot...but you get that with apple too.<br /><br />I recently had to give up my computer at work to help upgrade an old Lab with newer computers (mine matched what the lab was getting and we were short one computer). I also have an iMac on my desk for testing, so I just gave up the PC, switched to the iMac running windows 8 on it in a VM, and honestly making that switch is painful. Mostly because I'm not super familiar with the Mac OS, but I find myself using the Win8 Virtual machine way more than the native Mac OS. <br /><br />Short version. I love windows 8. No issues at all. Runs faster on my old netbook than Win 7 did. Surface Pro is downright fucking awesome. It does take some getting used to, and I wouldn't recommend my parents to make the upgrade just yet, but for me....windows 8 is the best OS yet from M$. MNPunkhttp://mnpunk.comnoreply@blogger.com
