This is exactly the type of user Win 8 was designed for; Multimedia, and social networking. When it comes to the professional field then I am sorry to say that Win 8 will be a flop just like millennium and vista.Yea I'm very impressed with 8 now. Windows 7 was good but there just was some things about it that caused problems. I take back anything bad I might of said about Windows 8 before, it is faster. I think was just fustrated about the driver support. I'm sitting here now enjoying music and videos having a good time. And liking the look I always have with win 8. Its sharper, clearer, and RP has Aero so the desktop is simply looking very colorful and amazing. This is something I've always wanted to have but since my older laptop had problems with win 8 I just kept thinking to myself," man I wish this would work", since my video driver kept making videos and games skip and freeze. But now my new laptop works great and I'm just tickled to death with its performance increase.

Speed is not the only criteria for a good OS.
Yup just as it should be; Win 8 is a social media oriented OS and definitely not for professional use! Cute colours, limited intuition and perfect for smart phones and tablets.My Metro Start, mind everyone I'm still getting all my files and programs back since I moved from Win 7. I did a clean install of Win8 so this screen will be fuller and have many more groups and programs later. I just thought I'd share how my start screen looks.

Here is this same comment, again (& again). Keep seeing it tossed into threads...doesn't seem to matter as to the, actual, topic being discussed... kind of a 1-size-fits-all line that I keep seeing tossed about.Yup just as it should be; Win 8 is a social media oriented OS and definitely not for professional use!

It has, already, been well refuted, several times & a few locations.

I know you mean well so let us see What happens to Win8. Something tells me that it will go the way of Vista when it comes to PCs. Care to wager? (you should check the internet and see all the bad publicity it is getting and rightly so). I shall not bother you any more on this subject so let us wait and see!Here is this same comment, again (& again).

The Win8 score is actually worse than the Win7 score. Win8 scores on a scale of 1 to 10 and Win7 scores on a scale of 1 to 8. So the three tenth of a point your score went up is not really much.I dont know about you but I recently tried Win 8 RP again and I thought it was very speedy on my new laptop. My processor scored a 5.8 on win 7, that number went up to a 6.1 with win 8. Which means Win 8 is handling my processor 3 points better then win 7 which probably results in better speed. Everything was nice and vivid I was really happy until looking at the video card driver. It said ATI radeon HD 4200 Engineering sample, I tried installing win 7 drivers but no go, it didn't take them and kept putting the sample driver back in. Which would have been fine but the software used to control graphics did not give me important options for adjusting full screen in 800x600. I would switch to this resolution and I had no full screen stretching option so I got black borders on the sides. Switching resolutions is important to me because pc games run better in lower resolutions on my graphics card.
If it wasn't for that I would definitely stick with Win 8. It has more vivid colors on my laptop, and good performance too. It makes me sad.
