MY THOUGHTS​


Windows 8 = Windows 7 and much more.
There are obviously things that need to be taken care of, but as it stands today, its still an awesome package, and leaves 7 behind the competition in every possible and impossible way.

9.5 out of 10

wesay windows also follows the flip flop pattern
98-flip
2k/me-flop
xp-flip
vista-flop
7-flip
8-****(guessing a flop)

Windows 8 will also be for tablets. Thats the right way to put it.
And don't worry, it won't be a flop.

From Microsoft Site:
If you install Windows 8 Consumer Preview using the Windows 8 Consumer Preview Setup program, you won't need to enter a product key—the setup program automatically provides the product key. If you create installation media, start your PC from the media, and then install Windows 8 Consumer Preview, you'll need to enter this product key: NF32V-Q9P3W-7DR7Y-JGWRW-JFCK8.

Meh! I'm not prepared to try this out as I'm devastated by imagining the "Metro UI" on a P.c
Still if you guys try this out do post some screens and first impressions

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
