Windows 8 released for all to try

[Ailantd]

I already try it and even metro interface could be really good for tablets I don't like it at all for desktop systems. I hope it can be deactivated in release version or I´m going to be stuck in win7 for a lot of years. The reason I don´t like it for mouse keyboard & control it is because has non sense at all. It does not add nothing better about usability or agility than we have now. It is a lot slower for open programs and force you to go to a different screen for open a program while you are working? that´s silly. If it could be deactivated when you are not working in a tactile system, then I have no problem with it. I want my OS let me do thing really quick without moving from here to there for common tasks. No more, no less. About how it looks, I think it does not fit at all with desktop part, and I like coherence, so I don`t like it either.

Did you detect any speed advantages? Is the win8 faster while using sowtware?

I try it in a virtual machine, so I can´t tell that.

You got a VM working? Which host?

It wouldn't even install on VMware Workstation 7.

Did you have to re-install Steam and/or Clod?

The game isn't starting for me at all. No errors, or anything. Even tried running the launcher.exe direct as administrator, and still nothing happens.

Well I have that trouble in Windows 7....

I've got CLoD to start three times, each of which was immediately after re-installing my NVidia drivers. Needless to say this is a bit of a hassle to go through just to start a game, so I'm waiting to see if things improve with future patches.

Having task manager open while starting launcher.exe has revealed that it does in fact start up, runs for a few seconds, then exits. Still without any error messages though. It appears to start, you see that amount of memory it's using grow for a few seconds, then it will stop. I've seen it stop anywhere between 700k and 8000k. At any point between those two figures, the memory usage will stop growing, it'll sit there for another 30 seconds frozen, then disappears from task manager.

I've just finished doing a complete fresh install of the OS, then steam, then downloaded the game fresh again, still does exactly the same thing.

Wait, people are trying to run a game on a DEVELOPER-version of a new OS? And by Developer-version, I mean Pre-Beta software specifically designed for and given out to developers on a Build-conference on a Samsum-pad (aka not a PC) long before the Beta is ready?

It'll run in Virtualbox.
