Windows 8 Launch Event Slated for October 25, Held In New York

Well, I like it, can see why people don't like it too, especially if they are used to the start-button. Me on the other hand, I never used it so its less clutter on the taskbar I guess.
Can't say much about metro either since I never use it.

For me win8 is essentially an improved win7 without a start button.

Would have been fun to attend the launch but not going to fly over there because of it.

Nah! Most of us here are smart enough to know Apple isn't the hype it is. Plus I hate Apple with a burning passion, I'm just saying.

But the rest of the world isn't tho.

This thread is about the Microsoft Windows 8 launch event, not about Apple. Keep it on topic.

I would go to this if it was closer. I've never been to a launch event of any kind at it would be interesting to see what goes on. Free stuff would be a bonus.

You Must be an apple fan boy.
I have a iPhone and iPad but no way a Mac computer. when it comes to real computers it's
PC nothing more...Windows....also maybe I will be moving to WP8 and Surface tablet.
Anyways if you are then you are on the wrong site.
Becuase All the computer components on this site is for PC which means Microsoft windows..........

... Windows 8 is okay, but it's nothing very exciting for me with the exception of SSD support.

What do you mean SSD support?
