Here you go OC3D if you want to try it get it here http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/download-preview
Updating now
Now all the haters who moan over the start button and start screen have nothing to hate Windows 8 for now it has a start button and a boot to desktop option. Shame MS has to spoon feed people who can't learn how to do new things :lol:
start button still opens the start screen i believe, still some hate left![]()
Yeah, just tried it and it does open the start screen. The boot to desktop option is there though.
Anyone that wants to know how to use the boot desktop option (because MS don't make it clear) right click on the task bar, click properties, go to the navigation tab and you will see a tick box with the option to "go to the desktop instead of start when I log in"
Thanks very much Josh
Who cares, just press the Windows key on the keyboard, are people that lazy.
I understand. Just the majority of people don't like Windows 8 for reasons such as that, whilst I prefer to have a Start menu, Windows 8 is still neat.
One thing that is strange though, say you use Internet Explorer, it's like having two versions, one version in the start screen and one on the desktop. As far as I know, they are configured different as well so you need to do the settings for both!
How well did Windows Surface do by the way? I don't hear of it often.
Damn it looked quite neat as well. Can't beat an iPad!
I've got Windows 8 on my laptop but I might put Windows 7 on my new gaming rig once it's finished. I still need to download some stuff on the laptop. If I download a PDF at work, it opens in a full screen stupid app then you have to go back to the desktop.
I have it and it's goodI'll have to check it out. So has anyone got 8.1 yet? Is it worth an upgrade from 8?
I don't know if this has been mentioned anywhere and a long search on google hasn't turned up anything, but has Microsoft mentioned if this is an update or a full on new purchase for people with windows 8?
Being a minimalist to a certain point that is aesthetically pleasing to me actually, all a matter of preference though. I like my desktop as blank as possible while still being functional.my gripe is that it is more aesthetically pleasing having a button there rather than a blank plain bar.
