I am actually pretty impressed with it on my 2006 computer. It's quicker then 7 and looks better. I am also surprised how well the mouse works on "metro" apps without a touch screen. The bottom line is that MS made changes to the traditional desktop, kernel and file system that make Windows 8 worth the upgrade.
- gizzlon 14y agoSure it's not just faster because it's a clean install?
- WayneDB 14y agoI've had Windows 7 running at peak performance for years in boot-camp, on my early '08 Macbook Pro. My understanding is that any general-purpose desktop OS is susceptible to slow-down over time unless you properly maintain it. In the case of OS X, it was slow from the beginning (at least, relatively...compared to Windows, on the same exact hardware).
