Hi,
I was wondering if W8 is good enough that I can ditch my W7 64 bit completely and use W8 consumer preview for my desktop. I don't have a touch screen so will not be using those touch stuff. Only normal work and decide if I should preorder W8. Core applications which work on W7 which I can't live without:
MS Office,
Endnote,
Adobe (acrobat pro, CS4),
rainlendar,
pop peeper.
W7 desktop gadgets
Does anyone know if all of these work on W8? If all is fine, I would just upgrade it immediately. I did try W7 consumer preview when it first came out few years ago and only the printer software did not work. Everything else worked fine.
Also, I have one of those all-in-one-desktops from dell which is a huge monitor with all the hardware being built behind the monitor. That monitor has touch screen capability. Would it be worth to put W8 on that, though I am not sure if the drivers will work though.
I read the comparison here and it seems W8 is better
