Now that the Windows 8 Consumer Preview is available, I would love to hear people's thoughts on it. :)

Windows 8 will be on all the interfaces you'd expect and certainly not limited to those. Of course, it will find its way to desktops and smartphones as well. A product of an era with exceptional albeit peculiar tech longevity. Indeed. I'd argue the pattern was broken once before by Windows...

If I think of more examples, I'll add them. Basically any laptop configuration works...

Depends on what platform. Looks to fit those new ultrabooks or whatever they're called-the netbook, with a detachable tablet screen-are the perfect breeding ground for Windows 8.

You do realize that makes little to no sense, right? Essentially you're saying "Well, no one told me to back Linux, or advertised it ad nauseum, therefore I can't support it or like, or even know what it is". Alright. You convinced me. Also, I just wanted to clarify that I am not one of...

While greater freedom is allowed with Linux, it's precisely this disunity that is a major turnoff. Then again, for those looking for customization and a wider range of options Linux does indeed appear to be a more viable option...

I won't bother with Vista, however, I did offer some support for 7. :) Personally, it just lacks the major backing of its principal two opponents.

I'm pretty sure 7 is on pace to outsell XP although products from that period are slow to die. *cough*PS2*cough Also, if I'm correct 7 had the most successful operating system launch in history. I'm rather positive that leaves Linux, which while more open source than Windows or Mac is...

The hatred for Vista is completely unwarranted. It may have lacked the stability of earlier operating systems and failed in becoming as mainstream as its predecessors but it certainly was not a technical or commercial failure. Complain about Apple's operating systems and now Microsoft's...

What? No Windows platform has ever been a substantial failure. Also, why do you state this without support?

Hold your horses. Windows 8 won't release for many months still.

Personally, Windows 8 is built to cater to both traditional PC and tablet users and therefore will include the best of both worlds. Also, at the very least, Metro will provide users with a cleaner interface. I don't see how this has anything to do with Microsoft forcing a tablet mindset on...

I understand Windows XP was very good for its day but people simply need to upgrade. Vista may have been a misstep in terms of stability but 7 corrects all of those problems. Windows has historically always been a great operating system and there is no reason to approach a newer version with...

As some of us know, February 29 marks the release date of the Windows 8 Consumer Preview. It's essentially a beta at heart but if you wonder why it's not called that, check out this guy's rant. It's sure to give you a good laugh or two. Anyhow, personally, Windows 8 appears to have a...
