Windows 8

[stevo]

Worth it at the moment or no? Microsoft has a deal right now that if you purchase Windows 7 or a machine that has a valid copy of Windows 7, you can upgrade to windows 8 Pro for $14.99. Anyone using it, any reason to get it or stay away?

Stay away for now, unless your computer is a touch screen. Do you currently have Windows 7? Why would you be looking to upgrade?

I use it on occasion to test stuff out but I also have a touch screen monitor. Kinda annoying have to reach for the monitor to select tiles. Yes I could use the mouse but that defeats the purpose.

I'm not, but I bought a computer not long ago that came with Win 7 and had to buy my wife one today and saw the offer in the rebates. I figured it was only $15, I'd ask.

You didn't have to buy her shit!

Shit... I'm not actually pussy-whooped or anything, but a few hundred bucks to make her happy = me happy? Yeah, good money spent.

I spend more than that on hookers and blow weekly though.

It's not like you have to install it...but for $15, I'd go ahead and buy it.

I'm about to install the RC on a virtual machine to see what it's about, but I don't expect to adopt it anytime soon.
