| 1257911 | 2012-02-07 18:39:00 | Interesting that W/8 appears to be nothing more than another Vista. Whatcha think? Microsoft’s Windows 8 and Vista will have several things in common: Both are unwanted operating system updates that will flop in the marketplace. LINK::: www.zdnet.com |

| 1257912 | 2012-02-07 19:14:00 | Had a play with WDP but there appears to be more changes to the upcoming BETA ,sure is going to be some big jumps for some people to handle I will reserve judgement until RTM is out and to see how configurable it will be not to scare the masses as this is were MS will lose it Win 8 will be a Multi platform release with configuration to suit each application |

| 1257913 | 2012-02-07 19:17:00 | Reply from colleague. :) www.zdnet.com but to be honest after playing with the new version myself I think it will only take a bit of getting use to. Can't wait for the consumer preview | dpDesignz (15919) | ||
| 1257914 | 2012-02-07 19:17:00 | Windows 7 will not be the new XP because Windows 8 is not Vista, says TechRepublic www.techrepublic.com | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 1257915 | 2012-02-07 19:20:00 | Been running the developers release here for a while, I don't think it will be a flop at all. I'd say it's going to end up looking pretty similar to windows 7 on a desktop PC or laptop, but with the metro theme etc, it's going to be a lot better on tablets and phones. I think people are going to be happy to upgrade, because MS are keeping the stuff people like about windows 7, but adding enough useful new features (for example new folder options stuff and a spruced up file copy setup) that it's a worthwhile upgrade. For me the file copy thing alone makes it worthwhile. Only time will tell though. :) |

| 1257916 | 2012-02-07 19:22:00 | Looks similar to the Xbox update that came out in December. Think I'll stick with Win7, for now | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1257917 | 2012-02-07 19:33:00 | Those types of articles make me laugh;) Many people judge an OS even well before its finished. As its been proven many times, functions are either added or removed during testing stages - Which what W8 is in. The final RTM version could and more than likely will be different. Some people wont have the choice if buying name brand PC's it will will come with what ever OS the manufactures install. |

| 1257918 | 2012-02-07 19:39:00 | The only thing I have found better in Win 8 compared to Win 7 is the tool bar in the file explorer . It gives back the copy/paste/cut etc icons again that were removed with Vista.. | paulw (1826) | ||
| 1257919 | 2012-02-07 19:59:00 | I think Win8 is just MS trying to get more sales They will honestly think that the masses will upgrade from xp/Vista/7 to 8 & corporates will upgrade to 8 on existing PC's Win Vista came out, they tried to convince us to just upgrade on existing PC's. Perhaps thats why they made they Vista min spec ridiculously too low. No one wants Windows on there phone/tablet/pad anymore, that boat has sailed. |
