    Windows 8

    Windows 8 is being released tomorrow!
    Has anyone had a play with it yet ?

    My impressions on it is it is very very fast!
    But for normal desktop users without touchscreens i can find it being quite hard to get the hang of.
    But then again i dont like change

    It looks to me as though its all based around their media centre interface.

    It will only cost 30€ if you buy the download. It is quicker in mobile hardware!

    UK prices are about £49 for the PRO Upgrade and £109 for PRO Retail
    The standard version i can only find the full copy price which is about £76

    Basically the same prices as Windows 7 was.

    Can't see us or many business upgrading to 8 with the way it looks at the moment, looks like chaos to me!

    Be interesting to see how it gets on though, a big change can sometimes change a companys fortunes!
