How do you folks like Windows 8?

So.... Anyone care to explain this....

This may sound stupid, but have you made sure all the characters entered are correct? What edition of Windows 8 do you have, and what is the product key for?

 

[Tekno Venus]

Hey,

Nope, I pasted the key from the website, so AFAIK it is correct.

OK, it's managed to activate itself..... I just rebooted the VM and it's now showing it as activated and as Windows 8 Pro.... :huh: Hey ho, ain't complaining!

Other factors for Windows 8 running faster here. . .

Windows 8 - installed on a new SATA 7200 rpm HDD
Windows 7 - installed in June 2010 on a 3 year old SATA 5400 rpm HDD

Haha, yes, that will definitely attribute to things running a lot faster! :')

We'll see how IE11 does!

Is there is a release date for IE11 yet?

I'm not a big user or fan of IE, but I always like to see what improvements have been made and how it compares to other browsers.
