Hi All So its Released today ! what are peoples verdicts on Windows 8 is it worth the upgrade & what are there upgrade experience good & bad ?
Why not just read one of the existing threads or better yet download the demo and come to your own conclusions: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/jj554510.aspx
People isn't meant to be a full Facebook app.
How is usability dreadful?
It took me 2 days to figure out how to close an application rather than just minimize it for starters.
Also for starters, please tell me how i can have 2 browser tabs/windows open side by side?
Go to the desktop & open up your browser, Just the same as before.
I think this article sums up the problems I have - http://www.pcworld.com/article/2013011/why-you-shouldn-t-upgrade-to-windows-8.html
For the love of god, not another new "is Windows 8 any good?" thread.
So, go back to the Windows 7 desktop? What would be the point in upgrading if the first thing you are going to do is instantly load a Windows 7 virtual session?
Add to that the fact that you cant set windows to auto-boot to the Windows 7 desktop and all you are doing is upgrading for the sake of doing so and adding extra steps into the things you do most often.
As i said, dreadful usability.
:edit: Also, i dont have to "goto my desktop...just the same as before", in Win 7 my desktop is already open, so is the browser, i just have to click on the tab and drag it to the side.
Tell me how, in the native Windows 8 GUI, i can have two browser tabs open, 50:50 .

Can't you drag it down & then move it to the side like you can with other metro windows? I can't get IE to open in metro seems to be stuck in desktop mode
