Windows 8..?

[Duplexia]

Likely problem: it will not boot at all. Other possible problems: crashing, BSOD in the Guest and other random stuff that will cause it to not work.

Running 8 yet?

currently installing it via virtualbox just out of noseyness, as i am still a gamer thats the only reason i keep windows around, hopefully developers will take linux more seriously in the near future, but it as yet hasnt happened to any great degree bar a few mainstream developers. even mac os suffers this.

i may stick some screenshots up if it works

edit: worked so screenieshots







seems to run ok, may do a test install on laptop

Yeah, it`s been running great for me, especially the 8-second boots.

I tried the dev preview and alot of stuff is geared toward touch screen. Hated it almost as much as unity

I tried the dev preview and hated it almost as much as Gnome 2.x

Ha. You guys must be "mobile users." I'll stick with the DE's on my Desktop and Unity on my netbook and phone. I like the DE to get out of the way when I do work...

Windows 8 is the beginning of the end for windows. Everyone say hello to Microsoft Window.... I love you linux.

Well, I got Windows 8 in September 2012, and have never had a single problem. I hesitated in getting it because I heard so much negative stuff so I kept my older laptop just in case - to insure I would not be without one because I attend online college. Well, to make a short story, I never went back to Windows 7 and can't even remember how long it has been since I even looked at my older laptop.

I think that perhaps many of the folks who complained in here had other issues BEFORE they got Windows 8, or just didn't really know what they were doing - - self mechanics, I would say. I have been very pleased and will continue enjoying using W8 - and look forward to the next new version - after the bugs are out. I have never been one to jump on something new until it is really working well, and this is the experience I have enjoyed for a number of months.

( Mind you, it wont ever reside on my desktop, for that I use Black Opal )
