Win7 or Win8 - GoFuckYourself.com

AllAboutCams · 01-04-2013, 06:43 AM

Im building a new machine and im wondering what people think of win8.
It looks ok on some of the videos ive seen but im not sure if i should not stick to win7

soopamanluva · 01-04-2013, 06:54 AM

if you are plan to work on that machine stick with win 7. I have win 8 and had a few driver problems with graphics and sound (few of my friends had the same problem as well so it's not a isolated thing). I updated it so now is better. But again if you work any kind of development on that machine stick with win7.

Get a Mac Mini, comes with the OS , just add a monitor keyboard and mouse. Around $600-$650 at JB Hifi.

Grapesoda · 01-04-2013, 07:12 AM

I'm using win 8 and the only issue I had was a logitch mouse not working to well, no updated drivers yet... all I use the machines for are editing video, editing stills, surfing and email and book keeping... there was a bit of an issue with vegas video however after I changed mouse it went away... I really like win8 faster and smother

RandyRandy · 01-04-2013, 07:17 AM

I wanted it to work. I really, really did. I built a machine with Windows 8 and I'm regretting it. After installing a PCI Express Card, I got a message saying my drive was locked. After searching forums I found the locked drive error was common for many different reasons.

http://social.technet.microsoft.com/...5-b2742674bc8f

I wasted about 12 hours in an endless cycle of repair mode, reinstall, until my cousin suggested opening the machine and clearing the CMOS - and that worked! However, I cannot get Windows 8 to recognize my DV tapes thru firewire (or recognize them in any fashion). I'm probably going to go to a pirated Windows 7, my fuck you to Microsoft for having wasted my time on money on WIndows 8.

karapandza · 01-04-2013, 07:34 AM

I had Win8 for almost a month... than I had to go back to Win7 because I had to many graphic problems on Win8, and few other problems as well

Are you saying XP is better for transferring DV tapes (makes sense as it's an older technology) -

Cause if that's the case, I'll just get a copy of XP and start there - never had a problem with XP and skipped Vista and went to 7 a few months after it came out and was happy with it.

Cameltoepro · 01-04-2013, 08:48 AM

I use win 7 pro an love it. I will not be changing anytime soon.

robwod · 01-04-2013, 08:58 AM

I am pretty amazed at how many problems people are reporting with Windows 8. It works very well for us. I upgraded 7 machines, business and personal, and not one has any issue.

I did, however, run the Windows 8 Upgrade Advisor software prior to upgrading to obtain a list of potential issues and then made sure I had all the updated software versions and hardware drivers on hand for the actual upgrades themselves.

If anything, Win8 has improved productivity for us, especially in a multi-monitor environment per machine. And I find it noticeably faster than Windows 7. I should also mention that all of our machines are no more than 1 year old, so all hardware is also relatively new. Perhaps that's another reason why we just have not had any problems?

RyuLion · 01-04-2013, 09:00 AM

Wait one more year for 8...

Sarah_Jayne · 01-04-2013, 10:22 AM

I've only watched people use Windows 8 and that is enough for me. The phone based outdoor advertising really doesn't work for me either. You tell me the name of somebody and then show me a phone with a bunch of blocks that can barely be read from a distance. It isn't making me need to go try it and I am a techie person.

CurrentlySober · 01-04-2013, 10:23 AM

No.

Validus · 01-05-2013, 09:00 AM

Nah. Windows 8 is no good right now. Not for business/work use anyhow.

prezzz · 01-05-2013, 09:01 AM

Don't go with Win8 until you actually try it for at least couple hours on someone else's computer.

AllAboutCams · 01-05-2013, 09:03 AM

/thread im going with Win 7

blogger2 · 01-05-2013, 09:34 AM

I like win 7 is much simple and i know all the bugs there ..

SpicyM · 01-05-2013, 11:29 AM

I am still on XP. No problems at all.

seeandsee · 01-05-2013, 02:22 PM

win7 for the win

stable

and finally they did it right!

suesheboy · 01-05-2013, 02:30 PM

Just build a new super box last week and windows 7 for me.

Socks · 01-05-2013, 04:54 PM

I'm loving Windows 8, upgraded all 3 of my PC's here, and left my laptop with Win7.

In my opinion it looks better, functions better, lots of little nice added details, and I like that I can launch any program simply by pressing windows key and starting to type the name of the program.

I find I just don't use the metro interface or its apps. It's a non issue.

Rockhound · 01-05-2013, 06:30 PM

flash crashes my firefox when websites have flash on them under Windows 8. I bought my laptop yesterday. Apparently this is a common issue ...
