Hello all,

Some people here are already using Windows 8 and I would like to know what are the advantages/disadvantages of Windows 8 compared to Windows 7 or XP in your opinion?

Re: Windows 8 - Advantages/Disadvantages

I couldn't make up any advantage compared to XP yet. I think i would rather go for win7 if i had the chance to choose. The App system is superfluous in my opinion and some software doesn't work for win8, Free fraps Version for Example wink

Re: Windows 8 - Advantages/Disadvantages

Onzer is right, the start screen is annoying but i dont use it. The big advantage is that the performance is much better than windows 7. it is pretty fast. Design is nice aswell and you do have some more senseful functions. Compard to windows 7, windows 8 is much better. And you can not compare it with xp cause it is a total different system.

And i guess the most newer hardware will just work with windows 8.

Re: Windows 8 - Advantages/Disadvantages

nope it isn't, sry say ;-)

I can directly compare it, laptop with windows 8 and ipad with ios7, it is a total difference, even with a mac or airbook it has nothing to do. If you want to compare it, then it is nearer android than apple.

Re: Windows 8 - Advantages/Disadvantages

If you are a win7 user, DON'T upgrade to win8.

Win8 = Win7 + some touchscreen-related useless bullshit

Re: Windows 8 - Advantages/Disadvantages

And win 8 is much faster than win 7

So it means if you are a win 7 user, do upgrade to win8.


The windows 7 system is atm the crappest system you can use.
