So today is Windows 8 RP release day.And not a single Windows 8-tan thread?
Get out.
Is it possible to install W8 on double boot then uninstall it if necessary ?
Personally I prefer 3.1-tan
>>66532178Yes install it to a VHD and you can delete the VHD file when you're done with it
>>66532178Use a virtual machine?
> windows 8lol
>>66532209>>66532198I don't know how to computers besides Internet, computer music and After effexts. I guess I'll google those, thanks.
Win8-tan looks like she's got autism.
>>66532085Win7 was fine, Win8 should suck. That's been their release pattern for a while.Oh, and still prefer Nanami.
>probably not voiced by Nana Mizuki
>>66532162But onee-chan, please welcome our new sister.
Wow Windows 8 is ugly as shit.I want Windows 7 back.
>>66532254Even Silverlight-tan could not convince me to install silverlight
The new tablet like interface, meeehI hope there are other improvments besides this.
>>66532262You may have been useful but you were an ugly whore as well
delicious xp is still better
>>66532295There's some kind of software RAID thing to protect your files by making several copies.
>>66532295Extremely fast boot time, better dual-monitor support, better design (at least in my opinion).
>>66532445I like everything about her.Too bad she's just the mascot of some hacker stuff.
>Windows 8So it's finally time to see it bomb? Let it begin.
ubuntu is my waifu
>>66532445I'd fill her cloud with my documents, if you know what I mean.
>>66532589She's making my software turn into hardware, if you know what I mean.
>>66532445I'd fuck that computer
>>66532589>>66532770Oh, you!
>>66532770That's not how it works.
FagsI use Wonders
>>66532882>Not using Winding.The fuck is wrong with you?
I'd rape all their harddrives and install linux on them of the GNU plus Linux Gentoo variationI'm that sick
>>66532936>not using wbunte
>>66533024I bet you would do all of that while holding her hand too, huh?Sick fuck.
>>66532296>judging your OS waifu by appearancesI hope you segfault.
>>66533160How can she possibly render all that cloth and hair on such a shit GPU?
>>66533160That's a pretty shitty computer you got there. But Tsugumi 10/10 would bang.
Why is Nanami so much more superior compared to the Windows 8 slut?
We need more Hikari.
>>66533160>SSD OCZYou poor soul.
>>66533302If only she knew she'd lose all her data within a month.
>>66533219easily(protip: how could beryl/copmiz work complately on MX440 GPU and Pentium3 CPU?)
>>66533336So she's just like Index?
Windows 8-tan just looks like an autistic version of Nanami.
>>66533364Except she's running windows.
>>66533431Dohoho
I wonder who they're getting to voice the Japanese Deluxe version. They have big shoes to fill.Actually, pretty much no one can top Nana Mizuki.
This is vaguely related, but since Nana Mizuki voiced Win7 at some time, I wonder when other seiyuu will sell their voice talents for a sound set for XP, Win7, or Win8. I want a Sphere sound set, damn it.
>>66533538>>66533557VA-mind
>>66533538Her voice actor will be Aya Hirano
Does Win8 even have an "official" OS-tan?
>>66533626Ew, no thanks.
win8 is fucking terriblefucking designed to be used on a fucking tablet
>>66533669Tried it?
>>>/g/25220704HAHAHAHAAHYeah I'll stick with windows 7>>66533708yes it's horrible
>>66533626>implying that slut has anything on NanaShe has better range and a much better singing voice.
>>66533708You don't even need to try it to realize it is godawful. Thank god I switched over to Linux a long ass time ago because I honestly never saw this piece of shit coming.
>>66533739Wow that looks horrible
Microsoft is taking the "companies are bigger than their customers" approach a lot of developers are taking these days.They don't care if you're unhappy, because you're going to buy it anyways, you faggot.
>>66533925>you're going to buy it anywaysI think that's just you. I'm not going anywhere near Windows 8.
>>66533925You forgot to fit >entitled babiesinto that.>you think you're entitled to a start button?
Gimmicky Mac-tier bullshit.
>>66533925Sticking to windows 7, hopefully they come to their senses with Windows 9 but it's not looking likely. If that doesn't happen they'd better at least refine it by then.
>>66532085That's the Windows 8 tan? The official one?It's just... meh.Nanami is so fucking superior.
>>66533047>>66532936>>66532882Install Bentoo
Need more Androids iOS and WP7.So here I give you all of that.
>>66534570>WP7Isn't that just a chibi-Nanami?
>>66534570Who's that one that looks just like Rider?
>>66534633I believe that LG-tan.You see all the Android girls are part of Google-sensei harem even if he's married to Motorola-chan. And yes its a fucking manga.
>>66533795>Complains about Windows>Uses an OS that has fuck-all in terms of GUI useabilityWhile I like Linux's command line, it's fucking obvious that these open-source fucktards know fuck-all about GUI design. And I mean *all* of them.Even xcfe looks bloated, despite being low on ressource consumption.
>>66534803>And yes its a fucking manga.SCANLATION WHEN?
>>66534803Published in the same magazine as Ubunchu, right?
>>66534881No idea but its been ruining for half a year now.
>>66533538They'd get Kana Asumi, and I would buy that.Neither of those will happen.
>>66532085Not official, not interested.
>>66534570
>>66535226RIM is a fine gentleman. With a terminal illness.
Is there a Windows 7 wallpaper comparable to pic related?I found all of them to be pretty sub-par.
>>66535360Why is Motorola a bimbo?
>>66533626>>66532260http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umDr0mPuyQc
Someone needs to get up and scan all of it.
iPhone will make you gay.
you know this is true
>>66535758nope
>>66535650Oh you.
>>66535758From what I've seen, it's not that bad.
time to downgrade to XP
Why not just install Gendoo?
>>66535810... I thought that was Saber for a moment there.
>>66535919can you play vidya on gentoo?
>>66536155Did I fucking say Gentoo?
>>66535226>>66535360Why are they all so delicious?
wait are these girls actually official mascots?
>>66539349I wish
>>66539349Well, one or two are.
Best window. Fuck the rest.
>mfw Macfags have ruined OS interfaces>mfw its convoluted and difficult as fuck to navigate interface will be the standard for all OS soon
3.1 is still far and away the hottest OS-tan
>>66541937OS X has a great interface and Windows 7 was copying OS X interface. Windows 8 however is not copying OS X.
Reminds me of this design wise.
>>66542043That would be windows XP in my opinion.
>>66542114Reminds me of Windows 1 design wise
>>66542043Oh yes, she is.I wish I had some SFW images of her, but I don't.So have a depressed Win ME instead.
Silverlight > XP > *
They're removing the start menu and forcing the metro? Well, I'm sure fags will hack things back proper it if it becomes required for DX12 or something and that becomes required for shit.7 will be supported for a while anyways. They're still supporting XP until 2014 or something.
>>66542451>Well, I'm sure fags will hack things back properThe last I heard, Microsoft was removing a lot of legacy code from Windows 8 that would ease adding Start Menu back.
>>66542451>>66542495I'm not sure but I think I read you could change some stuff in the registry to get it back.
>>66543101That was removed from the Consumer Preview. I like Win8. I'll stick with Linux though.
>>66543101Not when they are removing the code from the OShttp://www.theverge.com/2012/5/31/3054348/microsoft-windows-8-start-button-legacy-code-removal
>>66543204Oh wow.And apparently the registry tweak also made the task manager and file copying system as they were in W7.
>>66543637Forgot to sage.
>>66543173>I like Win8. I'll stick with Linux though.wat
>>66543655Yeah, sage doesn't do shit afterwards.
>>66543204Well. Enough complaints from users could get it fixed in service packs or the Win9.
>windows 8 tanwindows me tan or gtfo
>>66543716They'll learn the error of their ways if people give it the Vista treatment.Personally, I will not be upgrading to Windows 8. Seems like a waste of my time. And if Windows OSes keep getting shittier, I'll get an iMac (if they don't follow Windows).
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/iso
windows 8 looks horrible metro design sucks...and no official windows 8-tan either T_T
>>66544448Don't do that. I don't know if /g/ allows emoticons, but /a/ sure as hell doesn't.
>>66544493We allow one. ;_;
>>66544560Fuck I forgot to sage.
>>66544591See >>66543674. It's really not worth posting again just to say you forgot it.
>>66544673I know it isn't worth it but still. Don't want to seem like a faggot that bumps the dead thread.
Seeing how different Win 8 is (and dumb, lol tablet UI on PCs), I can't wait for the Vista-level shitstorm once the masses get their hands on it.
I'm still tempted to try W8 just to see how horribly bad it is.
>>66544960As long as it comes pre-installed on computers with specs that can actually handle Win8, I just don't see that happening.
I'll run it in a vm session to see if I like it but I finally got 7 last year and I'm not changing anytime soon.
>>66545114Do you think that Vista didn't come with pre-built computers that the average consumer buys? Because they fucking did. Vista still had trouble reaching the people who know how to install operating systems and most importantly, businesses.
>>66545114I'm more worried about the UI. Casual users are really dumb when it comes to stuff like that.
>>66545253>Do you think that Vista didn't come with pre-built computers that the average consumer buys?I don't know what the hell you just read, but It sure wasn't my post.
>>66545347No, that's exactly what you said. Your post said that you don't believe that Windows 8 will reach Vista level if Windows 8 comes pre-installed on hardware that can run it; the thing is that Vista also came on hardware that could run it, but it still stucked and people didn't like it.
>>66545297I'm kind of curious about how baby boomers will react to it. They already complain about the stupidest things.
>>66545432Most of the complaints were pretty much focused on how sluggish Vista ran on computers with 1GB of RAM or less and a single core, which were all labeled as Vista ready and even included an OEM installation at times. That wasn't really enough. It was a world of better on a dual-core and an extra GB.That Vista ready shit is pretty much what killed Vista.
>>66545297The thing is that UI in Windows 8 doesn't make sense to the user that's used to Windows XP/Vista/7 and that's why it will probably get a backlash from the users.
>>66545297Except the UI for windows 8 sucks and largely counter-intuitive
>>66545779And yet /g/ raves about tiling WMs
>>66545779>>66542162It's true.
>>66545779>Windows 8>no more windowsWell sure, the desktop is still there, but for how long? I wouldn't be surprised if marketing hipsters end up killing Windows.
>>66545100It's really fucking awesome.It's fast, responsive, has a better task manager and many other little tweaks that make the desktop really fucking awesome.It also supports most approaches equally. You can use the Desktop exclusively (Just pin your apps to the taskbar. Seriously, how often do you use the start menu on Windows 7 without using the search feature, which is exactly the same in Win8?) or mix and match.I'm pretty sure that I'll do my programming on the Desktop on one monitor and use the other with Metro for random information.
>>66544742>>66544856Japan knows how to market stuff.
Here we go...How about continuing this on /g/?
>>66545973Is it still pushing that stupid ribbon shit in the explorer? Can you right click the search results in the metro? Can you make those search results not take up the entire screen? Can you add shortcuts to those searches like you could by adding a start menu entry, preferably without making some stupid tile?
>>66545973>how often do you use the start menu on Windows 7 without using the search featureAll the time. I hate the Windows 7 start menu. In XP I could have a hundred programs available with one click and no excessive scrolling. In Windows 7 you have to open up folders and scroll up and down to find anything.
>>66546123brb, testingAs for>Can you make those search results not take up the entire screen?I can tell you to fuck off, though. It makes no fucking difference because the start menu will occupy your attention anyway - You don't actually lose information by your windows being hidden.
>>66546200For searches like that I always type the whole thing and hit enter before the results pop up. Requiring an entire screen change, or two I guess, for that is annoying. Doesn't apply to needing right click though, that's a separate problem.
>>66546200Back with testing.Results:>Can you right click the search results in the metro?Yes.>Can you add shortcuts to those searches like you could by adding a start menu entry, preferably without making some stupid tile?Yes, by right-clicking. Exactly like in Windows 7.>Is it still pushing that stupid ribbon shit in the explorer?Why do you care? They added about two hundred new hotkeys and the ability to display these in the ribbon interface.After a few months, you'll know every single hotkey by heart, just by virtue of being frustrated with ribbons. Seriously, it seems like a training tool to force non-casuals to learn the hotkeys.So I'd call it an upgrade. And should I not use the explorer often enough to learn the hotkeys... Well, then that means that the ribbons will come in handy by giving me *all* options easily available.
>>66546324>For searches like that I always type the whole thing and hit enter before the results pop up. Requiring an entire screen change, or two I guess, for that is annoying.You type. You hit enter. It's possible that you won't even see the screen - It's not like it lags.It loads instantly, just like the start menu. There's no fucking difference, except that your screen is blocked for about half a second.I really don't see the issue.
>>66546436>After a few months, you'll know every single hotkey by heartThanks, but I'd rather learn sh or vim instead if it comes to memorizing meaningless key strokes.
>>66547216I personally prefer BOs in RTS if it comes to memorization.But seriously, I don't see the disadvantage of ribbons. They are hidden by default and give you the ability to see all options at a glance.Granted, you'll have to search at times, but that's not much different from the current state of afairs.By the way, Windows 8 also added "copy to..." and "move to..." commands, which instantly made me nostalgic for Windows 3.1.Also, there's now a button to go one up in the file hierarchy. Always missed that one in Vista/7.
