So, I tried installing windows 8, the full version, on my laptop.<\/p>\n
This is NOT a review, I am not writing this to tell people how windows 8 is. It’s just about my installing experience and my feelings. (And the first hour afterwards).<\/p>\n
The first issue – installing is very quick (every windows version kept installing faster and faster…)<\/p>\n
Second issue. Even though I did install the beta before, I forgot it asks you for your phone number, in case you ‘lost your password’, etc. This will start so much controversy. I do not think it’s mandatory, but still, it happens.<\/p>\n
Then, it asks me so many options about a lot of features I do not want (if you select that you don’t want defaults, that is).<\/p>\n
Then, it says that I’ll have to wait for ‘a few minutes’ on a screen that constantly faded background colors. FUUUUU – it looked so bad, luckily I could just ignore it and look at this other computer’s screen instead.<\/p>\n
Windows is installed! I am taken into the metro interface, which I’m used to from the beta. It’s ok. But when I click ‘desktop’ I realise everything looks worse than in the beta (the theme has been simplified again. I think it looks much worse than the windows 7 one. Plus that the way borders and things are made now will force you to get a desktop background that fits (the older ones look like shit now).<\/p>\n
What? Where is Aero? No more transparency on the taskbar… One color…<\/p>\n
