Buddy, it's still a developer preview. Hard to compare the two. But from whatever we are seeing there would be some radical changes.

i know its in development phase, i was saying how much change is there. As we have seen very little UI difference on vista>win7

ive seen that it completely looks different win8 :)
thank god but still its too early to release win8

Well as a person with inclination towards technology I wouldn't worry too much about "UI". Win7 is way ahead of Vista in many things apart from UI.

I think if you are enthusiast enough, give it a try. You can't switch to Win8 until it is released. Otherwise we'll have a lot of threads saying how much does Win8 suck! :D

as win8 looks more like a table os thats why i pointed out UI only
performance matters the most. i was not comparing vista and win7 on performance basis only on UI. win7 is really good and far better than vista and xp. But still xp feels very nice for programing and gaming !

I agree completely. As it has already been said in this thread that such a layout suits tablets (touchscreen) only. Or maybe MS should edit this feature so that we can drag those boxes in Metro UI, should be good.

Windows 8 is supposed to consume lesser memory and system resources than Windows 7. I feel if your computer knowledge is anywhere near average, you should give it a try.

win8 = windows 7 + new login screen + metro screen

once u login to win8..there is noting called metro..its just plain windows 7.

I am using windows 8 on my laptop and everything just works fine.

again , win8 = win7 + metro UI at start..thats it. I wont be buying win8.

i know it is just a devpreview...hate to say this...but i expected a revolutionary interface in terms of usability. Metro isnt something great....try out Gnome 3 based linux distros. They are much better.

Thanks. Any idea about exact time ? Remember MS quoting it 8 seconds from pressing power ON button to desktop. Do we get it on all systems ?

^^ obviously not possible on all System. I believe they used "SSD".. That might be fastest but time will vary according to your system. And @ current stage of development I assume their is no difference between win 7 and win8 boot time.. If it is then it is very little,unnoticeable. .I have not tried it on actual hard-ware so can't say much
