Bottom line, for me, Windows 8 is fine to use on my
tablet, but
there is no reason to use it on my workstation, unless they
force me to,
by dropping support for Windows 7, like they will, for XP,
on April 8th 2014.
I have a laptop/tablet pc that I use for drawing (it has a
Wacom pressure sensitive pen)
that runs on XP, but won't run Windows 7. I guess it will
have a limited life.
It is a shame, because I can't find any new tablets that
support pressure
sensitive pens. Most new tablets run on Android, which
looks like the model
for Windows 8. Android is great for non-business devices,
but that too is
geared for tablets.
Won't Microsoft Surface have a pressure sensitive pen? No idea
though how subtle it will be.
It will come in two versions, one with a lame ARM and one with an
i5, which sounds quite interesting.
And if it's not going to be MS, I expect quite a few other
manufacturers to offer something similar.
I think what the problem is that there is no money in
selling to the professional
video and entertainment market. Look what Apple did with
Final Cut Pro.
They turned it into a home user product, and ignored the
pro market completely.
Maybe it is just a big hint, from the universe, for me to
start a new career. ;)

Maybe I
spoke too soon :) I felt a bit lost, so I'm back into
Linux now. Trying a bit newer distro (Ubuntu 12.04). I
know it can't run Softimage, but I don't use Softimage at
home that much anyhow.
It was a nice try, but it felt there were too many
gremlins under the hood that I had no idea of what they
were up to.
Too many reboots and too many processes that started
working for no apparent reason, and popups, my god.... it
felt like using firefox without a adblocker. But besides
that it was a better experience that my last attempt which
was with Vista.
I'm back home now. Hell did not freeze over, it's still
warm and cozy.

hmm, it's not april.... did hell just freeze over?
actually the day alan jones writes something like
that will be the day hell truly freezes over..
on a serious note, for every single windows
release that's about to come out since win2k I've
heard the same exact thing "this will be terrible,
I'm staying with win xxxx forever" yet those same
people somehow upgraded throughout the years and
found themselves quite happy...

On a side note.
I've been using Linux for a long time
now, but got fed up with crappy wacom
drivers and the crippled paint
applications. So... I've installed
Windows7 on my workstation at home. And
so far I'm really impressed with the
speed and the response from the system.
Softimage works a lot smoother on
Windows7 than on CentOS 6.3.
Anyhow, going to take a shower now
since I feel quite dirty.
And I think Windows 8 will be as
Vista, a "side-note". They are already
talking about Windows9.

My main Win 7 workstation has been really
acting flaky
lately.
Microsoft has
just release
Windows 8 RTM,
so I was
wondering if
anyone had
tested it out
yet?
I
realize there are
plenty of opinions
on the whole Metro
interface, but I'm
just wondering if
it's stable and if
Softimage will run
under it.
I need
to take a weekend
and reformat this
machine &
start over anyway.
Thanks,
Paul
