I used SCB CC free $80.00 to hoot. So technically its free~

ah i also recently applied for the stand chart cc.... special promotion $80 cash back when applying for stand chart cc... max of $160, so i applied for two cards.

as for Win 8, this is the real deal. not fake.

in fact it was from sept pc show that i got this web addr, but this is only for genuine windows 7 users lor...

issit. i see the youtube video like sibei confusing leh. maybe i need to play with it first then might get used to it. and if i dun have a touchpad, using keyboard and mouse is a killer.

at first glance (and at videos), it will be very intimidating, the major differences would be as you have seen in those videos, the start screen and possibly, 'snapping' of applications, the charm bar, search contracts etc.

and of course, shutting down/restarting/sleep/logoff options has been relocated as well

Btw i wont recomend dual/triple booting, Win8 does some nasty stuff to your boot selection.

 

[Gambler.]

anybody installed already, able to comment?

 

[makan007]

Does it require Win 7 to be installed in the system in order to install Win 8? Is this an upgrade version or full?

i'm interested to know what nasty stuff win8 does, because i am currently using it

Your blue window assistant complete download liao bo?
it will go through validation of the files...
then another phase of file check...

then only will it ask U on how to install win8...or save to media (aka ISO) or save to desktop.

if your download is not complete yet...let it run complete first.

complete liao. didnt know save to media is save to iso. i selected install later from desktop... ok, will change to iso now

Like?

need to know, since if it affects me I'll prolly not get win 8.

Win8 will override your uefi bios and become the first boot OS, after you remove Win8, some times your other OS will fail to boot and must do recovery install.

 

[Ohayo!]

can. just enter the date from 2 June 2012 onward

[Lumizi]

the only downside i've notice ..
a 'cooler' looking selection menu

and

if u set it to windows 8 by default and decided to boot into windows 7, it will re-initiate the whole boot sequence again (yes, kinda stupid) without the selection page

 

[tytr]

Yes they do.
So enter your real-deal email.

hmm I'm planning to upgrade to SSD soon, if I install win 8 first before installing win 7 will that still affect?
