did that and ..... meh ... reverted back to win 7 on my hp notebook it appears that even tho it's latest dv6 series it's combo Intel HD / ATI radeon GFX does not support WIN 8 so I guess that's it for me, my journey with W8 ends on installing hardware
also I HATE that new METRO style for start menu ... maybe it's cool for mobile systems but it looses so lame on daily use systems ... might be and most definitely IS a matter of getting used to it but I've grown up on win 95-98 so Start menu for me is the best solution (especially W7 edition)
I generally agree... but, I'm curious as to how the overall reception for Win 8 will be. So far I've read quite a few reviews that reflect badly on the new OS. I have to admit that after playing with it a bit, it does have some cool features, but definitely not enough to make me a full believer.
There is a Win 7 emulation mode in Win 8 (so the desktop looks like Win 7), but even when running the emulator, there are some dialogue boxes in the GUI that are Win 8 styled. Also, since the Win 7 running in Win 8 is a shell running in once again, emulation mode, no app that is native to Win 7 will ever run as fast (or I'm sure at times as smoothly) as it would if installed in a true Win 7 machine.
We'll see how Win 8 fares.
