I get 15-20 seconds from power button to jaws being loaded on my
laptop for win7. If win8 is that fast, it might be worth looking
into the beta, even with the ribbons.

its much the same. and you can turn off the metro interface. that
brings
back the 7 start menu.
and yes, keyboard stuff is exactly the same. its not that
different. the
touch interface is beeing pushed because a lot of people these
days
don't use pc's or laptops. they use tablets. so windows 8 is
pushing
that hard. but its not the end all and be all of the new windows
to come.
still feels mostly the same, except faster. win 7 boots from 0
power to
desktop in about 70 seconds on most systems, bit faster on
others. win 8
boots to desktop from 0 power in about 15 seconds on my netbook,
and
about 8 seconds on my notebook

HI,

interface...is

able to nitice different? Besides, of course,the ribbons.

besides, as complex a system windows is, they will never have a
bug free
operating system. thats not possible, with the pure amount of
lines of
code. so no, that won't ever happen. and yes, 7 is more stable.
because
they had time to sort a lot of things out.

And

thing
I would like to see, if Microsoft insists on continually coming
out
with a new OS time and time again, is that they quit rushing
them to
market before the bugs are worked out, and give us a solid
stable
product that has thoroughly been tested and proven to be stable
and
reliable, rather than a junky troublesome buggy product. I know
the
task would be massive, and I know it would take an enormous
amount of
time and effort, but it would sure do a lot to regain the
credibility
they once had, and it would also be more readily received by the
customers.

Hi Charles and all,
If you want to make that argument consider this. When Windows
Vista
came out Windows XP was already six years old, and it introduced
a lot
of new graphics technology that wasn't possible on the hardware
specs
in 2001. Both Windows 7 and Windows 8 use the exact same
hardware
requirements as Windows Vista, and actually run better on the
same
hardware specs. So your argument of having to replace your
hardware
every time Microsoft upgrades doesn't hold water. I really urge
you
guys to research your facts before making baseless arguments
like this
because Microsoft does not change system requirements every two
years
or for every Windows upgrade like you suggest.
Cheers!

can't be
loaded with enough RAM, the hardware isn't supported by the new
OS,
and I
need to move along with technology, I will do so. However, 2
years
down the
road, before the bugs have been worked out of this OS I bought
the
new PC to
be able to operate, Microsoft comes out with a new, more
demanding
OS. Two
years later, another one that is more demanding. Two years
later,
another
one that is more demanding. Before I know it, thanks only to
Microsoft, I
have another obsolete computer. I need to buy another one to
handle
the new
technology. This! is! crap!
