[QUOTE="Scythe42, post: 946505, member: 95833"] Win8 has some very interesting enhancements under the hood. I recommend getting a copy and use it as it's sold damn cheap at the moment. To the usual complaints: [LIST] [*]DVD Navigator and codecs are included, just no DVD player software (who cares...) [*]If you want a startmenu, just pin the start menu folder to the taskbar (it was always just a folder) [*]Adjust it, so that it boots directly into the desktop if you really need to (see no reason why, as you need to start a program anyway) [*]Make use of the Win Key - it really has purpose now! And read up on stuf what changed (e.g. charm bar) [*]Multiple Displays = very good, as one can just run in Metro (browser, viewing pictures, music etc.) and the other in a desktop app [*]Metro apps feel a but cluttered as people have not adjusted it for Metro and therefore it's spammed with entries like in the Start Menu. There should only be one per program now and not 100000 entries for stupid documents and stuff or even legacy like uninstallers before msi packages were introduced with Win2000. Yes, before XP. Will change with nearly every coming update to not clutter Metro. [*]Just get used to change. Your Programs work the same as before, you just have a "Mission Control" for starting them. [/LIST] And strangley, nobody wanted to install it and guess what it's has the fastest adoption rate based on sales numbers than any other Windows version before. Any yes, MP will make use of it. Mini Player mode for example will go intro Metro as well as other stuff like latest Media. Just give us time. [/QUOTE]
