Looks okay, but seems like they've expanded on the Windows Media Centre design and brought it into the whole of their OS.

I'm not going to rush out to buy it, I've only just got W7

Microsoft should just give up

Hopefully when Apple release Mountain Lion, it will be start of people flipping to Apple in large numbers.

Oh I'm not saying Apple don't have problems. Mac OS is a far better way of computing than Windows will ever be, however.

And thats so true.

So you'd pay around Ł300 for a computer that will probably break down a bunch of times and cost you tonnes in repairs instead?

I hope that never happens, Windows mess up every now and again, but is anyone forcing Windows 8 down your throat? No. Windows 7 is going to be supported for years to come, there is no need to change your Windows PC/Laptop because it's very simple to upgrade. Try upgrading your Mac ****e, it's impossible.

Macs/Macbooks sell for one reason: They look nice, but it a laptop that 'looks nice' really worth more money than a more functional laptop? People just want Macs because they see those movie heros using them, well done, you fell for product placement, good job.

Hell, the fact that a large range of Microsoft users are still using a decade old operating system says everything about the longetivity of Microsoft's tech vs Apple's tech.

Because I only just looked up Windows 8, and rather than creating a new thread, I used search.

Windows 7 is perfect for me, I can't be bothered to get used to a Mac unless I had it alongside a Windows laptop (won't be happening at those prices though) just because it does so much random crap but everything seems to cost loads of money and it just would confuse me too much and it'd be too different.

Windows 8 looks so....eh.

7 & XP >

I agree, to be honest, I think Windows 8 is more aimed at tablets and touchscreen PCs than desktop PCs. There's really no need to upgrade to Windows 8, 7 has everything that your gonna need for at least the next 7 years. It's your PC that you upgrade, rather than your operating system. And heck, if you ever find your desktop looking outdated, there's always rainmeter, which can make your Windows 7 desktop look like this (among many other things)
