Mostly underwhelming. Not sure I want my computer to at like a phone :-/

Jury is out for now, thank the Lord for vmware.

Anyone else try it?

Re: Windows 8 Public Beta

Yep. Running t on a touch screen all-in-one. I think it might be an even bigger dog than vista. It is not friendly to business users. I installed it in part to see how the software for programming the industrial controllers and drives I work with, which run over Ethernet and RS485 networks, will operate on it. Thus far I am not thinking it will matter because I can't see win8 making any big inroads into business and industrial environments as is.

Re: Windows 8 Public Beta

I downloaded it and don't like it. But it's not the finished product so it'll change a bit before the final release and will reserve final judgment until then.

It really doesn't matter though, it's coming and there's nothing anyone can do about it other than change to another operating system.

It's growing on me. First impressions aren't always acurate.
