CNET Top 5 - Reasons not to upgrade to Windows 8

Windows 8 is the biggest software launch in the history of Microsoft, but that doesn't mean you should use it, at least not yet.

Watched this on the Windows 7 partition of my MacBook Air.

can i still use my old apps and installed games or do i need to have a fresh start and purchase them again with win8 compatibility

[dublebproducktions]

well, i'm getting a new gaming computer around august, but the company im buying from also wants me to get windows 8, so the price for the windows 7 costs 80 bucks than the windows 8. since u have windows 8, could you tell me something about it?

[MrKasperabhay]

any performance difference between windows 7 and 8 or its just the GUI .

[MrKasperabhay]

Give me one good reason why i should switch from 7 to 8 ? is the performance of windows 8 better than 7?

There appears to be no way (short of running all of your programs with the Windows Key + R shortcut) to remove the metro experience. I dislike it because it makes me physically ill to have to side scroll.

Care to help me out in how I can avoid using a feature that causes me the same problems as the tilt-o-whirl?

[robloxtelamon]

can you backgrade from windows 8 to windows 7?

[AroPnut]

How is multitasking on windows 8, how does it handle having multiple windows open and is it easy to switch between them? This is one of my biggest reason for avoiding windows 8.

0:19 Is that the Windows(TM) 8 Beta logo or edited Windows(R) 7 logo?

At the 1:05 mark, where did you get that windows 7 background ? Looks awesome

thanks now I got used to it, the problem is for example the PF file. when you try to copy the Details there to put them in text file you have to go back and forth back and forth back and forth and that's makes me KRAZY please are there any ways t make it open like Windows 7

[lexys]

sooo. when SHOULD we buy a computer? if we just keep waiting and waiting, when do we finally get a pc?

[Oblivionitus]

How does changing your operating system affect performance? For games, Your graphics card and processor are the things in your computer that should affect that

[philnoland]

I'm curious how anyone knows just how many apps will be available at launch.

[lamboman]

What if I only have to pay $15 to upgrade? Is it a good deal then?

[BubbleMan]

@AnitaAnimeChannel Mobe Site/App doesn't have a reply button...

[boodsouza]

Why the heck do you need a start button for gaming, besides games take you to another screen altogether

[johnlery]

Damn I am confused! Whether to upgrade or stick to win. 7

[movingstair]

i dont want to disagree, i just want to know. In which point is windows 7 outdated, or what should be technically possible with it, that is not yet implemented.
