I'm all in for new. I migrated to VISTA b4 it was launch, same for Windows 7 and soon Windows 8.

I laugh at people who is so scared of new O/S that they still hiding behind Windows XP after 1 decade!!! laugh.gif

Maybe, maybe not. I'm particularly interested about booting Windows (almost) instantly, which, up till now, is not do-able. Full migration to 64-bit and component-based install are both interesting to follow.

I think that is almost DO-ABLE and at the same time NOT-DOABLE.

DO-ABLE is the sense if you spend RM3xx on an SSD, it's almost happening. Not DO-ABLE, is due to BIOS boot up is still pretty slow especially if you enable SATA mode(AHCI) or RAID...even before going into O/S, maybe 10 seconds gone liao, so even with SSD, time lost on BIOS boot up is unavoidable. It takes a combination of SSD and a faster BIOS bootup in order to have a PC boot up under 3 seconds me thinks. I thought there were talks of moving the PC BIOS to EFI like Macintosh....still nothing yet??

Lmao. I don't think Microsoft is going to release it as Windows 8. They'll rename it to something else. Probably Windows Gate tongue.gif

Dude, keep urself updatelar. Bill Gates long time no in charge of MS oready. Steve Balmer, the SOB, calls the shots now. I simply detest the guy...he is a freaky loud businessman in a suit....at least Bill Gates was a techy..thumbup.gif...

And it's open secret Steve Balmer no like Bill Gates......if it's gonna be called anything, it'll be called Windows Balmer....that guy is full of ego and shit.

Just in case you don't know...Steve Balmer actually grab the iPhone of MS employee and throw it to the floor...and there is internal memorandum in MS all MS staff cannot use iphone or apple product...no kidding...an MS insider told me that...even in MS Malaysia.
