Even though I have technet... I don't see myself wasting time trying Win8. There's about 3 pros and about 500 cons in my opinion.

Will stick with my W7 x64 HP thank you very much!!!

Tried the RC,and quite frankly hated it,it was fast at certain things,but it felt so unintuitive to me.

Hmm, that seemed fast. Looking forward to this. 8's efficiency over 7 is very well appreciated on my laptop.

As much as I loathe Metro on the desktop and the absence of a dedicated start button, I'm looking forward to Win 8. The increase in speed is rather significant and it will surely run faster than Windows 7.

A simple 5 minute fix of downloading a start button mod and command to boot right to desktop is all it takes (at least for me) to ignore Metro.

Will be a neat trick,as I read they have removed the code for the start button altogether

I'm expecting to get my disc within the next few weeks. I may hold off from installing for a year like I did with Windows 7.

[msoshq] Windows 8 will RTM This Week

I honestly love this cooler, but I think I'm gonna move on to another one soon, it just looks... A bit to bland compared to other flaming red (literally) coolers on the market.

Metro 2033 is one of the greatest FPS games ever made. Although not usually recognized as such, due to the horrible state the gaming industry is in, it succeeds largely on its storytelling,...

This is an update of the original Fractal Design Arc Midi. The solid left panel has been replaced by a panel with a plexiglass window and the top USB ports are now USB-3.0. Let me state at the...

The Pros The reason this card is one of the better non-Tahiti 7870s is because of Gigabyte's custom PCB. Gigabyte took the 7870 and replaced it's memory chips with Hynix memory so they perform a...
