Windows 8 beta (Consumer Preview)

[JoeyK.]

Microsoft provide far superior "Enterprise" type support for networked machines, Apple will never touch that fact.



Oh, so you've agreed you've been a bit of an eejit? Thanks.


On topic, got the client installed on my MacBook, love it so far... and I'm not missing the start menu as much as I did in the DP Now to get Server installed in VMWare

O.o Did I really just find someone who supports MS on a MacBook? Everyone hide, the machines are taking over...

I'm a Windows man through and through, I just like to be able to sample the 'fruit' of other companies labours

But... You own a Macbook... You couldn't just deal with a Hackintosh? Sampling is different from paying double for what a machine is worth.

I agree with Recursion. Of course there will be teething problems but why always be a version behind? That's just silly and non sensical to do out of choice.

It drives me crazy that my college is still on XP. No reason for it at all. Especially when all the computers were replaced in the last 2 years and some are now running very recent hardware. XP is 11 years old for god sake, like travelling into the past.

What can I say? They make nice machines, the OS on the other hand.....

I know the feeling. The first computers I dealt with in school were Macintosh, and we were only taught how to deal with them (Around 2nd grade, I was born in 1990) - Made it difficult to re-adjust to Windows afterwards, especially considering I never used a Mac again.

I'm really not trying to hurt Windows' reputation or anything. I'm simply saying that for the average user, it is better to stick to an operating system that is a generation behind because there are more compatible programs and it is easier to use than whatever the current Windows OS is.

I installed it as soon as I heard it was out over my main OS. Currently running Win 8 as my main OS.

You brave, brave man.

Sort of using it as my main OS but still have Windows 7 on the other hard drive.
