Windows 8 - Reviews & Feedbacks come in!!

But you already can mah... unless you want Aero transparency. You don't have to use the Start screen except to search for your app.

Anyway I've grown to like to Start Screen because when I'm not working, the Start Screen is like a super-charged Windows 7 Gadget display. Searching for apps & data is also much faster than the old Start Menu.

All textboxes also have automatic spell-checking.

Aero Transparency is nice ... but not a must. Sad to know that Windows 8 ... don't have this feature anymore.

How about the driver support now?

Where to get the cheapest Windows 8 Ultimate? I remember some $18 lobang right?

 

[i1magic]

If you have intention to upgrade, buy the license at $18 first then download the ISO file but dun install first. Catch the offer first.

Can share the link?

So this one ... after purchase ... we will get a CD-Key? And then we can use this CD-Key on any Windows 8 Ultimate 64 bits that we download?

Aero Trans is close to useless. This was the killer feature in Vista. It is good that they kill it.

Gam xia very much. Search liao ... sometimes don't know whether the link is legitimate or not.

This one apparently is for upgrade ... can the cd-key be use for fresh Windows 8 Pro 64 fresh install?

Cannot leh... Still cannot display...

So Windows 8 still cannot read chinese?

Think you should refresh your Win8. By default, Win8 can read Chinese characters. You don't need to install Chinese IME or display language. (previously called language pack).

This is for Win8 Pro btw. There's a minor bug that affect some users where Chinese filenames can't be read but adding a file with a Chinese name on your desktop should solve this problem.

Worse case is to install Chinese Display settings in Control Panel -> Language which will change your Windows to Chinese interface. You can change it back to English but since everything is in Chinese, you must find your way to Language again to change.

I just gotten a new Dell notebook and it comes with Windows 8.

Now .. I want to reformat the 1TB harddisk and partition 200GB for C drive for OS and programs ... and the rest put it as drive D.

So how do I get Windows 8 installation on a USB drive so that I can reformat and reinstall Windows 8 on it again?

I have tried Windows 8 for awhile. Seems quite ok. Really not used to Metro, most of the time on "Desktop".

I loaded chinese input ... but haven't really tested extensively. But so far ... quite ok.

Just bought a Asus S46 on Sun. Was previous ly using Windows 7 Pro & find the Windows 8 platform quite a huge learning curve. Windows 8 is designed more for touch screen laptops so the Asus S46 made me jump thru quite a few hoops to get things done. A few issues: cannot connect to Wireless N, cannot only get the G connection. Other laptops at home don't have this issue. To my horror, now the system doesn't recognise the DVD drive. Tried assessing the "uefi" settings via the start menu & the option for "uefi" has also gone missing!!! Argghh! Don't know what is wrong with this laptop. Is it a lemon? Restoring the laptop now , keeping my fingers cross that things will be ok.
