Hi
If there is going to be another beta version before release I may just wait for that, I have everything working really well, I never log into Windows 7 at all.
I started the process and thought it was indicating that you did not have to reinstall your software after updating, mainly because it has notes on some items that they do have to be reinstalled after update.
This makes me hope that other things don't have to be reinstalled after update.
It says all my other stuff is OK to go, but I guess that may just be wishful thinking.
It also says that after downloading you will be given a choice of how you want to install it.
The Adobe stuff is such a bear to reinstall because of their security and upgrade process that I hate to go through the whole thing again.
Consumer Preview had an upgrade rout it seems like the new one would have that as well, and what should be easier to do an upgrade from then the same operating system.
Anyway I guess I'll wait and see if there are any improvements that make is worth the effort.
So all you people who are doing it let up know what's new in the new version.
One thing I'm interested to know is, have they included the Microsoft games in the new release, it took me a lot of work to get FreeCell up and running! LOL
My longest streak in Windows 8 is 19 games, not close to what I've done before.
I'd also like to know if they have succeeded in blocking apps that restore the start button and the old programs window, like Classic Shell?
As I said, I've recently gotten an iPad 3, and while I now really understand the need for the Meto UI, I still don't think we should be stuck with it on a big screen monitor. There should be options for Pad or PC!
I've found a plus to owning a pad though, you get a free cell phone, just install Skype on you pad and your set to go.
My wife is talking to her cousin in Arizona for free right now, (they talk for hours sometimes, her cousin is 99 years old and you never know when it may be the last time!, but on the other hand, her mother lived to be 105) I've used it a lot and it's easy to hear even without ear phones. A nice bonus. Of course you could also argue that it's the world most expensive cell phone.
