As this is for the final code I thought I'd start a seperate thread

Enterprise edition only I believe and rearm is disabled

re: [MERGED] Windows 8 discussion
 

Is this the same as the Business edition that is rumoured to have the normal start button instead of the metro oops: sorry forced UI interface ?

Might download and install it in a VM box

re: [MERGED] Windows 8 discussion
 

I have pre-ordered windows 8 now as I'm well up for the new accessibility.

Microsoft are not using 'Metro' to describe the new interface now (Now Modern UI), seems pretty late to change the name now doesn't it.

Anyone know of any decent (free if possible) security that works with it?

re: [MERGED] Windows 8 discussion
 

It still has the tiles unfortunately but it does seem a little more polished.

However for some reason Oracle VirtualBox doesn't seem to work properly on my computer so I've not managed to go through it all yet

re: [MERGED] Windows 8 discussion
 

Does it need a key or does it just install?

re: [MERGED] Windows 8 discussion
 

It just installs

re: [MERGED] Windows 8 discussion
 

Win8 includes Microsoft Security Essentials.

re: [MERGED] Windows 8 discussion
 

theres no start button in enterprise edition same as rest just different features ect enterprise has windows to go feature

re: [MERGED] Windows 8 discussion
 

Can't believe they're still going ahead with the met...oops, the "new UI".

Yuck, I can't see Windows 8 being all that successful

re: [MERGED] Windows 8 discussion
 

Yep tried it in a VM, it has Metro mobile phone interface so that will be a no from me.

still using xp here

re: [MERGED] Windows 8 discussion
 

Hmmm, keyword 'decent'... ;)

re: [MERGED] Windows 8 discussion
 

Still using Xp here too as well on win 7 but win 8 + what I heard/read about the whole "metro" idea going with a touch screen. So there no mouse or keyboard....that just insane for rest of us that like to use a mouse & keyboard beside like others of my age range we all started off with just prompt code just to boot up the programme from 3.5/7 floppies or slow tape storage. Going mouse/keyboard-less is not going to go down too good with like of us plain & simple PC users...plus from I saw from Win 8 mee thinks it's going be another win2000 from the word go :shocked: + that says a lot from a person like myself & that what they call progress..... let me think here :td::td::td: to put what think of it (Win 8).
