Dos101 · Aug 17, 2012, 03:25 PM

Updated the OP to include Preview versions on Windows 8 as well.

So what y'all running Windows 8 on? I've currently got it on my MBP to test it out before I put it on my desktop. Glad I upgraded to a 750GB drive since I'm triple booting Mac OS X, Windows 7, and Windows 8 lol

H82LUZ73 · Aug 17, 2012, 08:00 PM

Thanks for this.. maybe now the H8ters will realize what we know.Oh and sign me up please Running 9200 RTM.

And come to think of it the only crash i`m getting is the 12.8 cats versus Firefox+Flash.

Running it on the second Seagate 360AS 500 gig that had Vistax64(system specs) on it until about a year ago,Still have Win7x64 for now too.

Dos101 · Aug 17, 2012, 08:18 PM

Updated OP. Please specify which version of Windows 8 you're using, and if it's the beta please specify the version as well. Most of us are probably running Pro, since I don't see any other version of Windows 8 available on Technet.

No doubt. In people's minds it's Vista all over again, but in reality they just a made a different, but solid OS.

Nice! Did MS do the same trial versions for Windows 7? I think it's a really smart way to get people to try Windows 8.

Windows8 Pro is = to Win7/Vista Ultimate...Anyone that has Win7 Ultimate is upgraded to Win8 Pro We also get a add in called Media Center(optional),Enterprise is the new multi task Business version.

Quick tips
1,Change log on screen picture,Go to user account ,Select Make Changes to user account under PC Settings ,Then under Personalize Select any picture you want.
2,get Control panel icon on desktop,Go to control panel,Select Personalization,Go to the Change desktop icon and select the control panel one.Instant Control panel at your desktop.

True, but there are 4 versions planned: Windows 8, Windows 8 Pro, Windows 8 RT, and Windows 8 Enterprise. Of course not all are available atm. It looks like just Pro and Enterprise are available on technet/msdn, at least to me anyways (all my Win 8 keys are for the Pro version).

Yes they did. Windows 7 Enterprise RTM was trial for 90 days

Edit:

You can add this link to your OP

http://majorgeeks.com/Microsoft_Windows_8_d7585.html

That's Windows 8 Enterprise RTM 32 and 64 bit ISO. Everyone can download it. No subscription and other blah required.

Thanks for the read,never knew there were 4 versions,I only read up on the pro and Enterprise.So the ARM versions are going to be for the APU and Tablet sectors....And Windows8 is just the OEM Starter versions.

Say Drone how is that Enterprise with Media center ? Will it play Blu-Ray movies without having to use CyberLink Buy me every year?

Sorry Dos. Wrong link. That one still requires subscription, my bad. See my edited post it has right link. But don't remove technet link either, it's valid for subscribers.

And here's comparison chart and editions.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows...mparison_chart
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_8_editions

Enterprise doesn't have device encryption and media center
But it has Windows To Go, DirectAccess, BranchCache
