Similarly when you see use of geometric shapes in any other OS ( be it Apple or Android or anything else) one should not comment "Metro UI rip-off""The distinction between the past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion."

Re: Windows 8 Thread.
Just Download The Tool from Link Provided and the iso.Write ISO to Your Pen-drive AND BOOT FROM IT.
There is nothing special about MS USB tool other than it being straightforward and compatible with Windows ISOs.
Agreed.
I thought same about Windows 7 while riding on XP Goodness upto 2010.
But XP-->Windows 7 is a completely different story.

Re: Windows 8 Thread.
err..
In that Regards Upgrade from Windows Vista to Windows 7 was much more JUSTIFIED Than from Windows XP.
Its not about how frequently the OS is being Updated,its about the Essential Features that are on offer.
1.
Metro Apps are targeted at Removing necessary Clutter created by Widgets/Gadgets and Small Apps on Windows for Nity Tasks Like Mail/Weather/Cloud Service Notification etc etc.
Also it promises of STREAMLINING the handy and repetitive tasks associated with Windows Management settings ,Control Panel Tweaking etc.
Metro Apps written in HTML5 will be LIGHTER on system and will accomplish the general tasks in much neater and Quicker Way.
As of Now Metro UI is better Optimized for Touch rather than Mouse Controls.
2.
Windows Store.
The prospective of it for developers is promising as it will be Mainstream Platform for Big and Small Developers to distribute their Windows associated content to the End-User.
The presence of Windows Store is of greater good of Windows RT users and Windows Metro App developers since its the Prime focus of Windows 8 Project.The Store is less of a App-Store of Mega Software Like Photo-shop etc and More of App Hub for Metro based Content for Tabs and Mobile Devcie Users.
3.
The Integration of services Skype and Windows live(will be rebranded soon)Skydrive,Xbox into Windows 8 will provide Unified Entertainment and Communication Platform.This is what The Windows and Microsoft Product users always wanted but never Demanded.
Here is a note from Microsoft Blog on how TIGHT AND UNIVERSAL these Integration will be within new Windows 8 :
4.The small but highly Productive additions like Windows Ribbon Interface in Explorer,Improved Windows Copy-Paste Features,ISO Mounting Integration providing seamless access to ISOs on Drive,Efficient Side Snap Multi-Tasking providing functionality somewhat similar to that of Multitasking on ICS,Better Windows Task Mangaer,Native USB 3.0 support,Windows Picture Lock etc etc and hundred more Productive additions.
Those speculating it to be a napster like Vista which was a resource hog in first Place and required a Major Overhaul of System,Window 8 is no more hardware hungry than what Windows 7 is.
DirectX 11.1 will be there but saying sorry to most Glaring Gamer eyes will be ok ,since This version Upgrade is nothing more than slight polishing of DirectX 11 with some performance Improvement.

Re: Windows 8 Thread.
Those who are feeling too nostalgic about Windows Start Button in Windows 8,
Despite the Microsoft Press release stating that they are doing there best to kill the LEGACY CODE in Windows 8 to make all kinds of Hack to bring back Start Button Useless and that Release Preview will completely do away with Start Button.
It still works.
BTW Windows 8 AMD Catalyst preview drivers released.
Nvidia Drivers for Windows 8 Coming Next Week!.

Re: Windows 8 Thread.
Been using Windows 8 Release Preview for a week now on my Dell XPS 15 and I'm very pleased to be honest. The boot time is very less,the interface is snappy,the News,Mail,Video & Music app make my life much easier.
I've seen people complaining about how it is not optimised for use on a laptop or PC but I've learned all the keyboard shortcuts and now I don't even have to touch the mouse.I can work very fast using just the keyboard and that adds to the smooth experience
