Winapp2.ini Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 looking forward to it, though I don't think I'll jump on right off the bat. winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icedrake Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Once I figure out that Metro interface, I'll probably switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWebAtom Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 My O/S is in desperate need of a reinstall (seriously; if you can name it I've broken it). Windows 8 might be the perfect opportunity to do this; so I'll be upgrading as soon as humanly possible. I'm Shane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nodles Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I will try it out, but probably skip it as main OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nodles Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 whys that? Win7 is good enough & I've heard lots of bad things considering Win8. But we'll see.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winapp2.ini Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 From my experience, Win8 is at the very least just as good as win7 (i personally like it more) unless you're incredibly dependent on the start menu in its current form and are unwilling to adjust to the new one. That's just my opinion, I would definitely reccomend you try out the release preview if you have a chance. I run it on my laptop and haven't had any compatibility issues (save a few hiccups from things like League of Legends which barely work on the systems they DO support, let alone ones they dont ) winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nodles Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 You could've edited your first post and not post twice (the same). Like I said, that's what I've heard. Haven't tested it myself yet and probably won't until it's released. Only the first of your list of advantages is "interesting" to me (USB3 support).

TheWebAtom Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 The performance improvements are quite nice too. Especially the file I/O stuff. Metro needs to die though. I'm Shane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icedrake Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Metro needs to die though. Definitely. If I wanted a tablet interface, then I'd go get a tablet. No need to put the thing on a desktop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larry39 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I tried the Win 8 preview and liked it, except for the metro, but that might have changed as I got used to it. Performed no benchmarks but Win 8 seemed noticeably faster than Win 7. But my PC is a 9 -10 year old P4, with a motherboard maxed out at 1 Gb Ram and I needed more for Win 8 to really perform. If I use Win 8 it will have to be on a new PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
login123 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Don't forget this thread: http://forum.pirifor...showtopic=35840 If you get a new win 7 computer from now till years end, a $15 upgrade to win 8 will be available. The CCleaner SLIM version is always released a bit after any new version; when it is it will be HERE :-) Pssssst: ... It isn't really a cloud. Its a bunch of big, giant servers.

Moderators Andavari Posted August 14, 2012 Moderators Share Posted August 14, 2012 Metro needs to die though. Honestly for me if that Metro UI is all that's available and I don't know if it is or not I wouldn't even think of using Win8. I've seen more than a fair share of screenshots on places like Softpedia.com that make me cringe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan_B Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Apparently Windows 8 no longer disables defrag of the SSD. Instead it does "storage optimisation" but still calls it defrag so we do not have to learn a new name http://windowssecret...rive+defragment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corona Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I can only hope MS supports Win7 for at least 5 more years. Metrosexual doesn't give me a thrill up my leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Andavari Posted August 16, 2012 Moderators Share Posted August 16, 2012 I read on another forum about someone who tried that pre-release of it, and he stated he felt like a senior citizen for the first time ever using a computer due to the Metro UI.

Moderators hazelnut Posted August 21, 2012 Author Moderators Share Posted August 21, 2012 Boot straight into the classic desktop on Windows 8 with Skip Metro Suite.

nodles Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Microsoft Windows 8 Gaming Performance (vs. Win7) After testing both AMD's Radeon HD 7970 and NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 680 on Windows 8 using 19 benchmarks, we can confirm that both Windows 7 and Windows 8 offer the same gaming performance. Some games at low, CPU-limited resolutions show Windows 8 lagging slightly behind Windows 7, which is a sign that there is some mechanism at work here that increases CPU time or otherwise limits the system from sending information to the graphics cards fast enough to achieve higher framerates. This difference is very small though and barely noticeable, especially at higher resolutions like full HD or 2560x1600. The same performance is, at higher resolutions, pretty much the same as in Windows 7. The difference we noticed would be smaller, or go away, with a weaker graphics card at lower resolution as the slower GPU will limit framerates in such a scenario.

Winapp2.ini Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 That'll likely change with Dx11.1 and compatible hardware, I'm sure. winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
