Well are you running the Windows 8 Consumer Preview?

I'm not but now that I have my desktop up and working again, I might give it ago.
 
No, no plans either. I would look into a tablet running it though, depends on what I can control remotely from it and if it will implement into active directory.
 
Oh well, when I'm planning to buy a laptop or tablet then surely Windows 8 known to be the latest OS available.
 
Did have it installed on my laptop for a few weeks but wiped it, and when it was first released I made the mistake of installing it on my desktop as my main OS, wiped that first.

Now have it in a VM just to mess with when I'm bored, but I`ll probably install the RC on my laptop again when it hits us in June
 
I voted No, still running Windows 7.

It didn't run too well on my spare PC.

Some consider me fortunate. So far my Windows 8 adventure has been perfectly fine, No issues, no annoyances, Just great. Been using it since it released.

I would have went back to Windows 7 if I did discover a big problem (that I couldn't solve), fortunately a missing start orb isn't one of them :rolleyes:

I find the Metro Start Screen to work better and quicker for me than the Windows 7 Start Menu ever did. Now awaiting for the Release Preview.
 
Same as MrXidus above. Lot faster than 7. All the metro start needs is a custom background and it's all good.
I'll be using it from RC, tried CP on netbook, but went back to XP on it since that's lot faster.

I am very happy with my Windows 8. :)

Is there by any chance you posted this from your Android tablet device? :P

I might try the RC version.
 
I wasn't too ure of the date I just knew there wa an RC planned pretty soon.
 
*sure
I'll be upgrading to the RC as it comes out. Just got to re-install all my programs
:S
 
I heard that the Release Preview was the RC (rumor).
 
No,and I don't plan to upgrade,Windows 7 still works for me... :) ..... I might install it on a VMware because I would like to create some 'How To's' for the forum but that's about it.......
Apart from the 'New Look', I don't see any reason why should I install this OS on my non-touch system...
