Boards Archive] |
Welcome to the Vault Network
forum archive.
This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the
opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards
deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least
20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per
page).
Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50
topics per page, while others deemed of historical
signifigance may be archived in their entirety.
We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but
we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in
lieu of that.
Please enjoy the archive.

It is still in the pre beta stage so it is hard to tell, but here are my impressions.
You boot into a metro touch screen desktop filled with widgets. From here you select your program from a widget. If it is windows 8 compatible, it opens up naively. If it is not windows 8 compatible, it throws you into a windows 7 compatible mode which makes windows 8 feel like it is in two parts. Almost like you are working in a GUI on top of windows 7. The new internet explorer feels like a beta product and is totally inflexible. Control panel is very simplistic and feels unfinished. I cannot tell of performance since I was running it in a VM, but from what is talked about they are making Windows 8 a better performer than windows 7 which is yet to be seen.
My first impression is most people will make a beeline to the control panel and turn off the widget screen to make it appear more windows 7ish. I do not like the widget screen and most people will not either. I will keep an open mind until a true beta version, but my first impression on the graphical changes is fail.
