[Engadget] Kiss Aero goodbye: Latest Windows 8 build reveals minimalistic desktop UI - Page 21

Isn't the desktop with aero on sync'd to monitor refresh (I can only get a window to tear when dragged fast with it off)? I'm just supposing it's a similar thing to the "Vsync effect".

Seems like Microsoft is going to use the same marketing technique they used with Windows 7 to help sell Windows 8.
Quote:
According to “contacts,” after the Release Preview arrives, customers who buy Windows 7 or a Windows 7 PC will be able to upgrade to Windows 8 when it’s released in the fall for just $14.99

Does Aero really make that much of a difference when gaming...if you have 8 GB RAM? I've never turned it off.....maybe I should.

Its your Vram Aero hurts. And it can hurt performance some. Not any major hits though, Maybe a 1-3% hit.

Its imperative to us that windows 8 fails, otherwise the direction they are taking might be irreversible and like it or not we all will be forced into using it as windows 7 ages.

Microsoft owns a search engine, and is pretty much capable of using everybody else's search engine to know what people are saying about Windows 8, be it in forums, blogs, tech sites, general news sites, facebook or tweeter. Anybody who says Microsoft does not read these forums or any other forums or sites but their own is really, well, wrong. It would be against their interests to confine themselves to their own discussion forums. They don't have a company rep here, but other companies do (AMD does), and even Intel is a sponsor on this site, even though they don't have a company rep here, but they sure do read what is said about their products.
