    Alright all you techies out there; here it is the long awaited Windows 8 Beta version.

    A word of advise: if you install this on your main PC then understand that it is temporary and as always it would be a good idea to back your current data up. :smile

    Enjoy!

    It’ll probably be very similar to Windows 7 or atleast not much better. Like how XP was actually much better than Vista. It skips a generation before it improves. :D

    If by “similar to windows 7” you mean a little more like a Mac guided user interface and nothing like windows 7 at all then yes it is. :D

    I would recommend that you not install it on your primary machine.

    Definitely isn’t. Is it an actual OS? or is it kind of like an extention of Windows 7? Looks too simple to be an OS

    interesting. From that video, is that all the OS is? It doesnt even have a desktop with wallpaper and desktop icons and a taskbar.

    It starts out with the start menu in “App” format and from there you can chose to go to your desktop.

    I haven’t looked at OS8…I mean Windows 8 but as a programmer I’d imagine that they’re taking these steps to make the operating system work simply on tablets, phones and computers.

    I think well soon see either minimized operating systems for tablets and phones and a separate one for computers or OS’s will simply get simpler for all platforms.
