Once you get Windows 8 down, it is powerful

[Type Username Here]

I've been messing with it for the last couple of months. I learned all the touch gestures, keyboard shortcuts (love using the keys since I'm always on PuTTy anyway), and secrets.

There are still a lot of flaws (Two Chromes, Mail Client, CPU heating due to Metro Apps, no communication between Metro/Desktop,...) but I like it. Extremely fast. Programs running smoother. Synced up everything on Start Screen (calendars, contacts, fb, twitter). Using the gestures and keyboard shortcuts is where it's at though. Make the transition a lot quicker.

I like it friends. Once it gets tweaked it's going to be a problem.

I went through Google on Windows 8

It installs a metro version and desktop version, that can't communicate with one another (yet). User setttings are all fukked up.

Blame Google more than MS.

Be warned though: Learning curve is steep, especially if you don't fukk with computers outside of using the internet and MS office.

Once you get it down, it is status.

oh i have a Chrome icon on the start screen but it always switched to the desktop Chrome. i been trying to figure out how to get that different looking IE10 to come back. my IE10 looks like Windows 7's version not the black one.

Did you uninstall it or did you unpin it? If you unpinned it, just search under apps and pin it back.

Hey friends, also a heads up: Check up to see if you're laptop or desktop can handle the upgrade. There are a lot of driver issues out there, especially involving switchable graphics, gpu and audio drivers. Try to install the Release preview on a partition to verify it.

i just found out
Google delivers Metro Chrome preview - Computerworld

Under Microsoft's rules, a browser must be chosen as the operating system's default browser by the user to run in Metro

i have Firefox as the default. i typically use both Firefox and Chrome.

I use PuTTy to do UNIX work from Windows. I also had an Ubuntu partition.

I thought Windows 7 was the best OS I ever used, but Windows 8 improves on it (Desktop) but it is the RT that you need to get used to.
