| 1292258 | 2012-08-02 05:24:00 | None of the above options apply to me: as a computer scientist student I'm almost certain I'll be getting a free copy (like Windows 7, Vista and XP). Have you read the terms of MSDN-AA? Well, if you don't care for it, it isn't really different from downloading a pirated copy. :) |

| 1292260 | 2012-08-02 06:25:00 | i see no point for Windows 8 | GameJunkie (72) | ||
| 1292261 | 2012-08-02 06:26:00 | No I won't be buying directly but indirectly my TechNet sub will allow me to download it, along with all the other Microsoft Software :D | CYaBro (73) | ||
| 1292262 | 2012-08-02 06:27:00 | Haven't tried it and won't be buying it. Windows 7 does everything for me. | QW. (15883) | ||
| 1292263 | 2012-08-02 06:31:00 | Been using Windows 8 on one of the computers in the lounge, its a kind of semi temporary setup for games. (Long story lol) But once removing all the apps that I wont use, adding in links to programs or locations its not to bad. Have W8 on the Media center PC as XP spat the dummy big time :yuck: And to be honest on the media center,metro now I have removed all the Apps that I dont need, and added in ones that are used all the time For media playing its actually a LOT better than Xp & W7. Had to add a couple of programs since W8 was reported as not supporting DVD playback ( never tried it but I wanted the programs anyway), and I added in the Media Centrer as well - plays really nice, and is a lot easier to see across the lounge than a Normal desktop. BUT as work actual working day to day -- committee still out on that one, I'll wait till I can download it in two weeks. |

| 1292264 | 2012-08-02 06:55:00 | Windows 7 has DX 11. :) What I meant was that both Vista and Windows 7 have DirectX 10+ (eg: they are DX10 capable and higher) - I just wasn't bothered writing that all out at the time. |

| 1292266 | 2012-08-02 07:56:00 | I'm in the same boat as CyaBro - I won't go out and buy it, but it will be available to me anyway. No, I won't install it. Quite happy with Win7. Might need to upgrade the laptop next year though, so I will have a play then and if I don't like it, I will "upgrade" to Win7 using the Technet sub... | johcar (6283) | ||
| 1292267 | 2012-08-02 08:01:00 | Why bother, I won't be upgrading anything in the foreseeable future. We're in an economic depression you all know? Just the first on the slide past peak oil! :D Personally I blame this guy en.wikipedia.org and a few more american a holes |
