Playing with Windows 8...
I've got my main PC dual-booting into Win7 64bit and Win8 64bit. I have the Enterprise edition and it's running very well on my Dell Inspiron with Intel 6600, 4 GB of RAM, NVidia 430 video and 1TB hard drive. Everything seems to work, except printing to my 2 shared printers. Windows Home Server sees the Win8 PC and backs it up every night, no problems.
The OS is completely different from previous Windows versions and I think it's more like Ubuntu 11 than Windows. Most of the "eye candy" has been removed so response is instantaneous and everything seems to be extremely quick!
For my job, I need to become thoroughly familiar with the present (Win7) and upcoming operating systems (Win8) from M$ because that's what my company uses for the enterprise. We don't have Mac or Linux on the desktop, so I concentrate on the technology that's most likely to be implemented at work, which has served me well career-wise thus far...
Anyone else here playing with Win8 yet?
