So the new eval just came out for 90 days with Windows 8 I just want to know what you all think of it? I through DeVry got the full retail OS Windows 8 x64 Pro (NON EVAL) 3 months before release. I am here to tell you there is no difference between that and the eval version. Personally I think it is pretty cool. Metro is a little odd to get used to but you get the hang of it after a while. All my old Windows 7 stuff including drivers for my ASUS P53E work great.
It is MUCH MUCH MUCH faster than Windows 7. I am typing this while on Windows 8 and I have 6 tabs open on IE, Steam open, ASUS live update, and a few other back applications running and I am only using 1.2gb!! When I am sitting with nothing open I used about 600mb!! My CPU has been between 0% - 5% during this entire conversation too.
