Impressions of 8
Looking for opinions I guess on the latest fluff from Microsoft. I have
a fully functional powerful and fast windows 7 desktop (scores a WEI 7.1) and I am wondering whether I should think about upgrading it. 1/ It is a older home built system with a Intel D975XBX2 motherboard, Intel quad core processor,4 gigs ram and win 7 pro 64, with 2 24" flat panels Would all this be supported? 2/ I have heard a lot about the formerly Metro interface being a pain and really focused on touchscreens. These I do not have and do not see a use for on this system. 3/ I use a older HP laserjet office printer (5yrs old) Would it be supported. I have heard scary things about drivers not working. 4/ Scanner is only about a yr old so it may be fine but not sure. Many games, apps and peripherals that work fine in XP, Vista and 7 but not sure about 8. I am not looking for someone to tell me to go look for myself because I would of course do that first. Just looking for opinions on what others are finding with there hardware and software. Not exactly a hard core gamer but definitely casual. I do not want to lose a LOT of invested time and money on new crap if you know what I mean. |
