Windows 8?

[PsychoRealm]

Taken from Lifehacker:

If you're eager to give Windows 8 a spin, you'll get your chance starting at 8 pm Pacific time tonight, when Microsoft will make the Windows 8 preview available as an ISO download on their developer website. You can opt for a 32-bit or 64-bit x86 build; developer tools will be optional.
PCWorld reports that because this is a prerelease code, not a beta release, a clean install is required.
Here's what Windows 8 looks like so far.

Windows 8? Fuck. Do I gotta get a new PC? Meh. I was saving up for a new one anyway. I wanna upgrade from i5 to i7.

I wanna upgrade from i5 to i7.

It is a perfect time:
i7-960 from Microcenter comparing to i7-960 from NewEgg
i7-2600K from Microcenter comparing to i7-2600K from NewEgg
(Hint: Don't forget to select your local store at the top of Microcenter's website).

My local MicroCenter is in another state. I have CompUSA/TigerDirect/CircuitCity.com instead.

8 has some neat features I'm interested in, namely the new account security options.

Then again, Win7 supports booting to VHD, but when you actually sit down and research it, that feature could have used some work...

Installed it today on one of my ESX hosts. Looks like Microsoft wants all computers in the future look like tablets. Even though it's not gonna be officially released up until September of the next year, I'm not gonna install Windows 8 since history shows us that Microsoft releases normal products through one: 95 (good) -> Millennium (sucks) -> XP (good) -> Vista (sucks) -> Win7 (good), so logically their next release (Win8) should suck. I'd better wait for Win9. lol

This will only cause a new Vista-esque backlash. However, I think it's pretty awesome.

I hate it. I'll give it another shot come beta time though.
