Administrator DKT27 Posted August 8, 2012 Administrator Share Posted August 8, 2012 If I ever switch to Windows 8, it might not be of excitement but me trying to stay in the game of using latest versions.If I ever pay for a Microsoft software product, it will be one and only Windows 7.

jtmulc Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Not planning on switching, but I'll buy a discounted legit copy for the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avitar Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I'm seriously considering buying WIN 7 ULT x64. I mean, I've used it so much and it's awesome. Won't switch to WIN 8 unless I get a touchscreen laptop. For win 7, how does $5 sound MS? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ganxxta Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 No no switch until they integrate a option turn Crap UI... ehm Metro... erm Windows 8 UI... ehm Modern UI completely off.No 3rd party Software, but a user friendly option right from Microsoft.

No 3rd party Software, but a user friendly option right from Microsoft. Indeed. As I've said, I can still adjust to the no Aero Glass and the Metro colours on the desktop window, but that Metro UI start screen sucks. Just allow us to disable it for gods sake. Some big time editors have said that M$ will be forced to release a fix via Windows Update that gives an option to disable it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avmad Posted August 11, 2012 Author Share Posted August 11, 2012 Only 13 people willing to pay $40 :whistle: Surprises me. I would want to keep my pc genuine at that price. I guess others don't have genuine 7 or other atm so probably can't pay to upgrade switch. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastleo63 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I have a TechNet subscription, so I'll get Windows 8, but only when Italian language ISO will be released officially.8 is very interesting, but I will probably switch from my 7 Ultimate x64 next year.

grouchysmurf Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I was there in DOS, then I was told."Hey, get PC Shell"...I was there in PC Shell, then I was told, "Hey, you gotta get windows3.1"I was there and played with the win3 until I finally got happy with it....."Hey, you gotta get win95..".....*sigh*I was there and played with win95 until I finally made peace with it...."Hey, you gotta get win98..."..*sigh*..*grumble*...I was there and played with win98 until I figured out how to use it with out crashing it......"Hey, you gotta get win2K....." ......Ok, I let myself be led to winXP. I was with the first version, and crashed it a billion times,I now have a stable version on a cd, an image that I can go to at anytime,and I am just not willing to debug anymore of the microsoft crap ware.I will stick with what I have, It works, and I can wreck it all I want to. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioActive Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Every Windows user will switch eventually. You can't use the same OS forever no matter how much you like it, because one day you'll reach a point when your favorite OS is just too outdated to support/run anything new, and thus you'll be forced to upgrade.

Windows 7 IS the best OS ever made. I would advice everyone to blindly use it. Not to worry a single bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knightmare Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 No to both. I've heard it's touchscreen-based, so it wouldn't work on my computer well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stiyl Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 I will eventually make the switch and I'll probably pay up, too. Why? Well, using my student card I can get the upgrade for as low as 15 bucks (Windows 8 Professional). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ck_kent Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Yes, every user will switch eventually but not necessarily to Windows 8. Others would probably want to skip it like I what I did with Windows ME and Vista. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcs18 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Would like to also see a 3rd option - "How many times did you switch to Windows 8?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calguyhunk Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 If I ever pay for a Microsoft software product, it will be one and only Windows 7. Read a report in Economic Times which said that a Win8 Pro upgrade might cost only Rs. 699. Dunno how much water that report holds. :dunno: If that indeed is the case, it'll make some sense on one of my PC's. But, we'll see if 'Upgrade Key' from 'Genuine' Win7 can be used on a clean install. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marke68 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Nope i'm not even going to consider switching from Win7 to Win8,i'll happily just plod along with Win7 and see what Win9 has to offer in a couple of years time.If it aint broke don't fix it is my motto with regards to Win7.

avmad Posted August 16, 2012 Author Share Posted August 16, 2012 I suppose I should try the 90 day Enterprise in a vm now to get a better idea if I like it. I'd like to buy the $40 upgrade if I can hang on to the license for a long time before using it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because M$ sees money in that and it wants people to get used to "Metro" on their PC so that people buy metro based windows mobile products.
