DJR Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 I got a sms from Macro saying I can pre book Windows 8 it and it made me wonder how special it could be when Macro offers a special on it even before the launch.

TNOSE_E Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 Freaks some users out as there is no startbar...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 luckily I just got a new laptop that qualified for the discounted upgrade. R 150 per license is a steal! Will definitely get it asap.

Scott2luvit Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 I installed it from our Action Packs, looks and feels different, but def faster than 7 at this stage
durbanjacques Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 I have been using it since RTM came out a couple months ago. I had some teething problems initially but I have enjoyed it since then. The lack of a start bar is a bit weird in the beginning but you get used to it.
Christopher Brunsdon Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 Upgrade to Windows 8 retails @ R599.00Â Thats instore, you can buy online from M$ for about R350
Mojoman Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 Thats instore, you can buy online from M$ for about R350I assume thats if you are upgrading from Win 7? Can you go straight from XP to Win 8 or does the HDD get a full format?
Christopher Brunsdon Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 I assume thats if you are upgrading from Win 7? Can you go straight from XP to Win 8 or does the HDD get a full format? I think your HDD does get formated. A M$ upgrade often requires a clean install
SwissVan Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 Microsoft Switz had a huge display screen showing 8 in use this morning at Zurich main station. Also had a lot of devices on display with microsoft staff hanging around to explain ect... Seems like MS are taking this luanch quite serious.... Sorri for the blurred photo...iph camera :-)Â
