Is anyone here testing on Windows 8?

I'm just wondering if anyone is testing on Windows 8. I've heard there's rumors about this.

Yes, I downloaded it. I HATE the metro tablet style ui. It's ok for non geeks but not power users.

Nevertheless, It looks like microsoft has worked out a number of the bugs in windows 7.

Anything new?, like DirectX or .Net?, i've heard about VS 11 with .Net 4.5 and it most likely to be implemented.

The way that I read it was that you could not dual boot with another Windows OS. I have XP and recently added ubuntu 11.10

I found this game from linux but have been playing it mostly on XP.

Hopefully external boot loader like GRUB should be able to handle it; they aren't even supposed to be aware of each other's existence ...right?

[macuser]

Yes you can dual boot with ANY OS. Windows 8 has a very advanced GUI bootloader built in now

This is what got me thinking that way

Note: You can't uninstall the Windows 8 Developer Preview. To go back to your previous operating system, you must reinstall it from restore or installation media.

Windows 8 = Windows 7 + crappy tablet UI

errr.. Anyone notice how every other version of windows is crap?

95 = sucky pile 'o poo
98 = sweet retro ride
ME = clusterfrak
XP = geek sweetness
Vista = constipated Mac
7 = Gui heaven
8 = another POS OS??

I sure did, you would think that Microsoft would have noticed that by now as well but I guess not

I like your descriptions, there pretty good
