Anyone else using it? Apart from having to overcome the start up screen stuff, what's the difference? I havn't really noticed anything so far.
Supposedly quicker than Win 7, but I've not seen any numbers on it. I'm probably going to skip it unless there is some really compelling reason to pick it up.
Yeah, the supposed quicker boot and supposed less memory usage is why I bought it for my work computer. I see nothing yet that makes me think it would be worth the small amount of cash to update any other of our computers.
Solution was just a google search away (search for "automatic login windows 8")...Laughing_Gnome_Invisible said:Oh....And I can't find out how to avoid having to log on with a user account at start up!!
I installed it on a PC I rebuilt for the local animal shelter over the weekend. I couldn't really tell much difference... Still a piece of garbage like all those before it.
Costs me $0 to get it. I have a TechNet subscription, so I pay <$300 a year to get thousands of dollars worth of software.
I think that if we could get rid of the tile initial screen for desktops and non-touch enabled laptops, it would be an easier decision. As it stands, I have to tend to agree with you, Beer-lord. I'll give it a shot, but I'm not committing to staying with it.
I also enjoy being able to test out new operating systems and applications, for zero additional cost.
From what I understand you can get rid of it. Need to create a desktop shortcut and put it in the startup folder of the start menu. You'll the the tiles for a moment until it catches up and executes the shortcut command.
