Xbox Windows to be Separate from Games for Windows Live

Yea I agree, it's so useless that they added a special button to the keyboards after it was introduced in Windows 95

Still not upgrading....

yeah except most times my left hand is occupied with a big gulp full of coffee, or a newspaper(old school!) or my dick! or god knows what else I might be doing.

If your left hand is doing something more than with your dick... it could be scary. Might be able to make money with videos.

Dude, you are over-reacting. All you need is one of those handy-dandy $50 Microsoft Windows8 keyboards with Windows 8(tm) hot keys on the top row to access those much used features that used to be simple with a mouse.

Production.
I want my users to spend time working to produce and make money, not learning how to use windows all over again

I would love to see the new Windows 8 Metro to be able to play Xbox games. It would be a great feature and eliminate the need to have multiple devices.

And what couldn't they do in Win8 vs. Win7? I haven't had any issues. Normal apps (firefox, chrome, etc) load onto the desktop, create a shortcut on Metro UI, and launch to desktop when I click the shortcut on the Metro UI. The only thing that took me a while to discover, is that to close an app, you hover on the top-center and then drag the app down.

@joe gamer
I just fresh installed Win7 on an Alienware Aurora w/ Core i7(first gen), 16GB and 120GB solid state Corsair GT and it still boots slower than a dell Latitude E4300 with Core 2 duo 9300, 4GB (though, I upgraded to 8GB about a week ago). Both are fast (Win8 about 8-10 seconds. Win7 15-20 seconds), but Windows 8 boots faster to were you can actually do something.

[citation][nom]s3anister[/nom]What's funny is that everyone is so disturbed by the GUI for Windows 8 while simultaneously overlooking all of the enhancements it has as an Operating System. Get with the program everyone, Windows 8 is a consumer OS.It's simply not for us enthusiasts. This was established a long time ago and now it just feels like Tom's users are beating a dead horse.[/citation]

whats the point of haveing a great core if the gui is hell?
some people can live with a crap ui, i refuse to.

http://xbox360-emulator.com/ yup doesn't work at all. no pc anywhere could run it
"■our XBOX 360 Emulator now supports one-core computers"

Its called the "Windows" key, hence why it has a windows logo on it, and not the word "Start"

I laugh at all the angry trolls here.

Just remember "Opinions are like a-holes, everyone has one, most of them are full of crap, and no one thinks theirs stinks."

But Windows 8 doesn't reboot. When you reboot (or shut-down) is actually a bit-deeper version of SLEEP mode, nothing else. I put Win8-RP 8440 on a 6-year old AMD-X2 computer with a standard HD and it too boots in about 20~30 seconds.

Actually cut the power to the computer and do a full power up... its no different than Win7. Also, if you put Win7 in sleep mode, it'll came back in about 2-5 seconds.
