nsane.forums Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 The majority of Windows users aren't interesting in upgrading to Windows 8 immediately, although 68 percent of those who are considering buying a new computer want a Windows 8 product. Most Windows users aren't interested in immediately upgrading to Windows 8, according to a new survey. A new survey conducted by Avast and released by USA Today indicates most current Windows users aren't considering an immediate upgrade to Windows 8, but the majority that are considering buying a new computer want a Windows 8 product. The study claims one-third of Windows users who haven't upgraded to Windows 8 (users of Windows 7, Vista and XP) are considering purchasing "an Apple product," according to USA Today, although the vast majority will continue using Microsoft-powered computers. Many of those users are aware of Windows 8 but aren't interested in upgrading to the new Microsoft operating system, however. Avast polled about 1.6 million users of its Windows antivirus software the day before Windows 8 launch and received roughly 350,000 responses, 135,329 of which were from U.S. users of its products. Of those responses, 65 percent were running Windows 7, while 22 percent used Windows XP and 8 percent were Windows Vista users. Six in 10 respondents were aware of Windows 8, USA Today reports, although only 9 percent of U.S. respondents said they would "accelerate a decision to buy a new computer just to have Windows 8," and more than 70 percent said they will continue using the operating system they already have. Only 16 percent of U.S. respondents said they were considering the purchase of a new computer. Of those respondents, 68 percent said they would be getting a Windows 8 computer, although 30 percent planned to get an iPad for computing usages and 12 percent were considering an OS X-based computer. USA Today didn't state what the results were for respondents from the rest of the world. View: Original Article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiLmEgZ Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 I was reading in a Windows 8 Magazine (cant remember the name of it, it was some guide to it tho) that it said Windows 8 takes advantage of all ur processor cores in ur machine. Maybe this is the reason why my Battlefield 3 game runs quite smoother on it VS Windows 7 on the same machine :D This was on the same hardware configuration as in Windows 7 to Windows 8 btw.

irefay Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 WIN 8 isnt bad, its just not much more efficient for me vs. W7. There are a few neat little tricks, but that start page is crummy without a tablet. W7 I could see all my apps on one screen, W8 I have to scroll right, scroll right, scroll right - there it is... the big box icon that doesnt have any more information then my icons from windows 3.1.
