Oh my did you try windows 8 consumer preview? If my phone hadn't of busted I would have made a video for my blog to demonstrate what is possibly the weirdest windows system Microsoft have created.

I guess the whole idea is touch screen. I loved my HTC sensation phone before It broken. I don't have a tablet(or ipad) generally they look cool for what they are but I don't like the idea touch screen revolution taking over desktop pcs. I cannot imagine myself sat here now using my screen instead of a mouse.

So I installed windows 8 consumer preview right before I reinstalled my Linux system hoping to dual boot with Win8CP NB**

Wow what a confusion. Windows7 is pretty much a perfect operating system compared to others they released(though I mainly use linux)

Windows 8 introduces the metro style or whatever they call it. Its pretty confusing to say the least. It feels like a tablet thing to me. On a touch screen tablet I think this would probably be great. You can get the the win7 desktop up though but it seems you have to constantly go back to the metro start screen. Wow it is totally weird for a Microsoft product. So much of a change I don't think people are going to like it much. But its only a preview version and in no way represents the full product.

But its nice of them to allow you to install a preview to see if you are going to like it.
But I would recommend if you want to try it that you download the ISO burn it on DVD(or create usb installer) make a partition on your hard drive and install it. This way you will get dual boot 7 and 8. I think it might be a pain for people to get their 7 systems back using the installer-- not sure about this. Another option is to try it on a spare PC.



NB** note that if you use linux and windows dual boot. Its not so easy to get the dual boot working with the autoinstaller that unbuntu provides(this may be due to I use ubuntu12.04beta1) I have kinda managed(i cheated) it but I have to go in bios to switch to w8
