I am buying Windows 8 and I'm happy with it as it is, because I'm adaptable, as you have to be to use computers. They can't just stay the same forever.

Really? Windows 8 is great, and I will continue to support Microsoft. They have provided excellent software over the years and will continue to do so in the future. If you dislike a single start screen to the point where you'd stop supporting Microsoft, then I feel bad for you son. I got 99 problems but Windows 8 ain't one.

I'd buy anything good they have to offer! Windows 8 is something that I've been waiting for a long time, something new and fresh, a departure from the old way of doing things. It's going to give life to a whole new breed of apps with rich content and great performance, even on less powerful machines!

What this guy said!

It looks like a pretty cool system, and I love tinkering with new things!

If it sucks completely, I'll downgrade to Win7 and wait for Win9 :D

Of course! I'm psyched for Windows based tablets, Windows Phone 8, and the Xbox.next. The only thing I'm not 100% psyched for is metro on the desktop, however given MS's superb track record with Metro everywhere else, I'm more than willing to give it a chance.

I wont be getting Windows 8, I might check out the surface but I doubt I'll get it, Windows 9 all depends on if we still have this Modern circa 1992 UI going on in Windows 9, if we do then I wont be getting that either, I'll start looking into Linix distros at that point, unless Windows 7 still suits my needs

The way the xbox is going it'll all be ads by then, so who knows what I'll do about that, probably block the ad server in my router

Some ads I'll let slide, but if you abuse it I'll just block them all, try and earn money off that.

I don't know what asshat they have making decisions at Microsoft these days, but they're very short sighted and it'll only come back

to bite them.

Null vote from me, my thinking is not listed there as an option.

I would consider buying future Microsoft products, but it depends on the product. I won't say that because I dislike Windows 8 I will never buy anything from Microsoft ever again, because that's ridiculous. I judge products individually, not based on the company's other products.

This Windows 8 **** is blown out of proportion, and these threads don't help. Each passing day, as new devices are released, people are forced into learning new ways to do things, they haven't been afraid up until this point, and they won't when Windows 8 is released. So you have a new Start Screen to learn. Boo hoo. Put on your big boy pants, sit down with it for an hour or so, and work your way through it. Sooner or later the Start Menu was going to die anyway, and everyone here knows we wouldn't be using it for much longer as devices became increasingly mobile.

If you're afraid of Modern Apps, uninstall them, customize your Start with the desktop apps you need, and carry on.

One thing is for sure though, whatever happens with Windows 8 doesn't matter, the Start Menu as we knew it isn't coming back. If people are resistant enough to Start (which I doubt it), a new design will be intoduced in Windows 9.

Keep calm and carry on.

Needs a fifth option: "I refuse to take part in such a poorly-worded poll."

Agree with this sentiment.

Haven't bought a thing from MS since XP and cannot see myself ever paying for an OS ever again!

There was a discussion about laptops/notebooks in another Windows 8 thread where someone said it wasn't a good experience, well I just found this and it seems as if Synaptics will be bringing the Windows 8 experience to all their touchpads which I'm pleased about. I've got a 1st gen i5 Dell L501X and I'm happy I'll have the quick touchpad nav of Windows 8.

So it looks like you need to have Synaptic Gesture Suite 12.3 to get the cool swipes in Windows 8. No more corner nonsense now ;)

Have those been released yet?

The release of "Surface" at an unbelievable $199 (rumored) will change everyones mind about Windows 8.... the snow ball starts with Surface, flows to desktop, on to phone, and then on to the new ZUNE... (or what ever they will call it).. I predicted people will HATE windows 8 but at $199 for your new "PC/tablet" mass adoption and love will come sooner then you think.

"I will not purchase anything again from Microsoft Because what happen to Windows 8"?

I really don't get the title, and this option. If you don't like Windows 8, then don't get it. How can your dislike move on to all the things from Microsoft?

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.5 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.5 changelog: Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows (DirectSound and ASIO) Fixes several crashes and memory corruption issues Fixes opening several headerless files at once, which previously dropped all but one Improves batch export by suggesting and remembering the destination folder Fixes accented and non-Latin characters in VST plug-in and compressed-archive file names Adds zstd compression support and updates the archive library Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • I did think about a Echo show once and it would be useful to see what my cameras see. But my brother got one and I changed my mind. Adverts and not really worth the price just to see my cameras. I have a load of dots and a Echo Gen 4, they will do.
    • I asking where you are from or live, because if you don't live in the U.K, why are you so bothered? That is another reason I voted out, E.U and people poking their noses in where they should not be. Sadly we still have it, Trump, and his cronies. Putin as well and no doubt others. It makes no difference what we believe, if we made the right choice or not, we are out. As I said to someone when the news first broke we have voted out, we just need to make the best of it. I have no problems with closer ties to the E.U, we still need to trade. Just don't want to be in their club.
    • So you think I voted out because i am anti-immigrant. I am fed up with those that come over and think that we owe them something. The ones that are at the moment coming over from France where they are already in a safe country because they think and no doubt will get everything chucked at them. While people who were born and bred here get very little. I have nothing against as i have said before those that come here and work. In fact I know full well that our NHS would struggle without them. I do have a problem with those that come over here and try to push their religion and their way of life onto us. My reasons for voting out was because of what the E.U is and is also becoming. I did not agree with Freedom of movement, not because I don't want people over here, but because people need to be checked before being allowed to cross borders and that goes both ways. But my main thing was because the E.U is becoming if not already a united states of Europe. The only reason countries like Poland and Romania joined was because they had no money. When my partner left Poland, she had nothing, Poland had nothing, that is why she left. Wanted to learn something and earn a living. The E.U would have us back according to Michel Barnier. https://www.euronews.com/my-eu...ator-barnier-tells-euronews Why are you so scared to say what country you are in?
