| 1311341 | 2012-11-09 07:01:00 | I seem to recall there was a bit of fuss with Windows 8 before it came out and I now hear that a few of you have it and don't hate it too much. | Nomad (952) | ||
| 1311342 | 2012-11-09 07:07:00 | Not yet, but I might. | Nick G (16709) | ||
| 1311343 | 2012-11-09 07:11:00 | Hey mods, could you please add in a extra answer for the poll? Call it "maybe". :thanks: :D | Nomad (952) | ||
| 1311344 | 2012-11-09 07:17:00 | Yup decided to give it a try. Brought it a few weeks ago. Now its gone up to near 100 at DSE. And will probably go to 199 next week, or the week after. It's still 90 at NL. Decided to remove Win7. Then installed it. Now that I've killed metro, the lock screen, the login screen. And installed Classic shell, it looks pretty much like Win7 And yup got it because it was cheap. And it was even better when MS handed out free keys for Media centre. Hopefully, it doesn't crap out after Jan next year lol |

| 1311345 | 2012-11-09 07:22:00 | Got Windows 8 for free (thanks DreamSpark :D), and despite the small variety of Windows Store apps, there's some good ones :D | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 1311346 | 2012-11-09 07:26:00 | I got one better: Windows 98 | prefect (6291) | ||
| 1311347 | 2012-11-09 07:38:00 | Got it -the $19.90 upgrade version with free media center; encountered quite a few problems and may go back to Win 7. Found it to be unstable and erratic - compatibility with older hardware is bad. However, it loads and shuts down faster than Win 7; otherwise, Win 7 is still better. |

| 1311348 | 2012-11-09 07:44:00 | I'm happy with windows 7 at the moment. If windows 8 becomes necessary, it'll be for me and me alone. Mum was pissed off enough getting used to a fresh install of 7, a new OS would be insane for her to get used to. oh and edit, MSDNAA will provide it if I get it. |

| 1311350 | 2012-11-09 08:14:00 | Win 7 is working very well and if I needed to reinstall I would loose a certain program I use a lot at the moment, not prepared to do an upgrade either so nothing will be changing here for quite a while | gary67 (56) | ||
