Bunch of MS haters giving a review on something they didn’t use, don’t waste your time watching this BS
Did you even watch? Tell me the time stamp where I say (Chase) that I hate MS?
I watched it, and you don’t need to say “I Hate”, it is totally more than enough to be officially a hater if you don’t use a product (even the one who said he used it didn’t use it for more than few hours) and then go on for half an hour to say the reasons that you don’t like the product??? how on earth would you consider yourself a tech podcast when you are giving tech review on a product you don’t even have on you!!!
@Mohamed Elsherif First off thanks for giving your feedback, it does mean a lot!
@Mohamed Elsherif I’m not a MS hater. Been using for over 20 years. I will be completely fair and install Win 8 after official release and offer my review then. This was an opinion and concerns about an upcoming release of software. Something that many podcasts do. This was NOT a review.
@Mohamed Elsherif Finally, I would hope that as an employee of Microsoft, you would accept any objective and open criticisms of Windows 8. I mean your not biased right?
People will not use the intergrated microsoft store.
PEOPLE WILL STILL USE STEAM.. I know I fucking will.
I used to work for Microsoft, but now I am not, and yes I am biased towards Microsoft and yet I use other non-MS products like iPads, iPhones.
At the end of the day it boils down to the product quality, I am using Windows 8 on a 4 years old Dell laptop that originally came with Windows Vista SP2, and few years I upgraded it to Windows 7 and a month ago I upgraded it to Windows 8 Pro RTM (Yes I have MSDN subscription) and I love it I absolutely love it, it is a great product even on an old laptop
and they should use Steam, that’s the great thing about Windows 8, Many Options.
Can you guys ask Falbey to be a little less biased? I really want to like this show but right now its painful to sit through with such a blatant bias.
Thanks guys, completely agree with you that Win 8 is like an XBOX and no use on a real Desktop to work with.
Won’t spend even 40$ or whatever for that, Win7 works great.
It was hard for me to leave windows 7…. this is a lot of blab… Windows 8 DOES not need a touch screen. I find it pretty easy to use. learning curve yes but not so much to call it a dead end. Performs fantastic and for $40 it’s worth it.
