2012..ugh I’m still working on my Windows 7 exams, I’m still trying to learn Windows 7. Won't there still be users that will be using XP in 2012?

Youll have companies and individuals, who the only way you will get them off of XP, is to pry it from their cold, dead hands. No worries.

Indeed! My dad is currently on Windows 'Chalk and Slate' at home and he'll be taking that one to the grave for sure

That's MS's current target for client OSes, so normal.

We've just completed the planning phases of our deployment of Win7.

We still have 7500+ stations still running XP, and no money for contract help. Fun times!

WOW, 8 minutes for the installation, that's pretty quick.

I think I will believe this when I see it. I know the install of Win 7 is fater than that of Vista, but 8 minutes...? My BS detector is on yellow alert.

I would assume it all depends on your hardware. 8 Mins probably for a beast of a machine.

i think i remember reading somewhere that the 8 min install was on a box that had like 24GB of ram and 8 processors.

Some of those features look great.

I gotta say this, but I installed windows 7 in around 10 minutes from a USB drive onto my laptop. Admittedly it does have a corsair f60 SSD but it can be done. I guess they were using some pretty nice hardware during their tests.

Edit: I guess it would have been even quicker if it was USB3!

I'm still running BOB at home.

I am waiting for the day I can set up my Server 2013 box and mass deploy Windows 8 to all 20,000 machines on our domain in just a couple hours...

For a client O/S?! Wow.....I guess this would be for a gaming rig or something......lmao. Otherwise, that's sick...

demonfurbie

i wonder how fast it will install with say 4 gig ram, ssd, and a thunderbolt pendrive for the install media

Client OS would not recognize that many processors... I think that was a joke. On an install the real bottleneck will be disk IO. If it's 8 min on 8 GB RAM 6 core with an SSD, big deal.

Some nice features overall so far. I'm looking forward to it!!
