Kind of off topic, but I'm just curious to know if anyone's tried out the Windows 8 developer preview. I'm trying it right now, and it's honestly not that bad. Some things still need work, but it's definitely something I could get use to.
I was curious about it too, got a link?
also can i dual boot it with win 7?

Yes, and if you really want to get a feel for it lifehacker has an article showing how to share files between the Windows 7 and 8 partitions.

I havn't tried it yet, trying to get it to work with vmware.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/br229516
I thew it on my 4 year old cheap laptop and after figuring out how to navigate the start menu I really like how fast it is. Only problem is I can't seem to be able to install .net framework, hence phonemypc won't work (I wanted to test drive metro ui on my epic since its touchscreen optimized) I'm gonna keep it on my laptop until the beta expires but I'm sad to say that I want a windows 8 tablet waaaaay more than even an ice cream tablet.

Yeah I'm using it on a partition on my brand-new laptop. I really like it actually!
Metro UI is a bit to get used to, but I love using the touchpad multi-touch controls to navigate from panel-mode to the standard desktop, bootup is much faster, and I can share files fine between my regular Win7 partition and the Windows 8 partition.
@xopher.hunter, I had an issue with .NET 3.5, but it installed fine after a restart. YMMV...
I bought a Touchpad during the fire sale, and have yet to receive it from HP Small Business (have to wait for the last production run), but I wanna put Win8 on it when the ARM build gets out.
Im waiting for a windows 8 tablet to come out
I do NOT like the UI for desktops :/
WIndows 7 for my PC, windows 8 for tablet.
fk yeah.
Microsoft killed all of my interest in an android tablet when they revealed the metro ui windows 8. PERFECT TABLET OS (atleast based on what ive seen, it has all the right things.)

actually...i just remembered in a previous video they didnt have metro ui on and it looked like windows 7...so i might just give it a shot if i can take the skin off..
Also, what's phonemypc? Remote desktop thing for the epic im guessing?
Lol you mean android prpo lol you dont get win took the source code rewrote it pstent it and you would fund that lol

Its this 10 dollar app in the market, yes it is a remote desktop client but very well done and very simple to set up. Its a freaking life saver if you forget something on your computer.
I still haven't been able to install .net 3.5.1, I even dl'd the standalone but it still wanted to use microsoft update to install, and I rebooted it too. Oh well this is why I put this on my old ass laptop. Runs like a champ though only on 1.86ghz and 1.5gb of ram it seems ready for tablets alredy.

I personally am hating the metro ui...its to hard to navigate. It's too big of a step. To me, its clunky. People were afraid of vista because of the glossy difference from xp, this is like 100x worse.

I find it too bland. (still wonder if I can change the green background to another color...)
Idk, I agree it's too tablet-like, but I like how everything is together.
Definitely doesn't make sense for a computer though.
I feel like we're going backwards a bit since we're basing computer UI off of mobile UIs which are meant to be more compact.
Even in OS X Lion, they had the "Launchpad" feature where it looked exactly like you were on an iPad.
Why do companies think people like this?

Idk. Maybe because they think it looks better than just a plain list, but now they're more interested in eye candy than functionality. Why can't we have both.
On the other topic, I would like to try windows 8, but it's not really useful for me since I have a 1024x600 netbook, so Metro Apps don't work. I've tried the hack that makes resolution higher on Windows 7, but it looks horrible with that.
my question is the lifehacker site says you need to burn a dvd or use a thumbdrive, can I also use a SD card? (don't want to waste a DVD and have no RWs at the moment)
Also will doing this erase everything on Win 7? I dual booted Ubuntu once and it didn't but LifeHacker says something about formmating the drive

Will not erase everything as long as you boot to dvd or usb (I don't think SD cards are bootable). You don't need to format, you need to partition (which is like grouping your hard drive, with one group for windows 7 and one for windows 8)

Because of the many advantages of ARM chipsets? More efficient power consumption, less heat dissipation, etc.
You could get a net book with a decent battery, an extra gig of ram and whack ubuntu on that.
The more recent atom chips or even amd's are great for that sort of thing.
Could always put a small ssd in it too.
What sort of battery life do you expect from a TF101 with ubuntu?
Asus has promised to release a tool to unlock the Transformer bootloader (at the price of voiding your warranty). When (if?) they release it, you should be able to install Ubuntu on the newer Transformers.

You can setup a virtual machine and dedicate 3/4 of your machines hardware to the VM, and then use it as your main OS but otherwise you need a hackintosh disk with amd/intel chipset drivers added.

I made no comment about the "legality" if you read my post.

To be honest I only installed it and adb, I haven't even got to mess with it. The newish android-tools-adb from software manager are slick it made Desktop my adb location so anything on my direct dektop is controllable with adb ( I think only tested adb devices ). Although I still have the actual sdk, I just wanted to try the software manager one.
I'm in the process now of just trying to get better and more fluent with terminal and Linux language. I was never really big on computers at all growing up but when I did use them it was always to do one task and that was on windows. So Linux really opened my eyes because if I don't need the computer to do much, why run all that bloat? I would rather install what I need vs uninstalling what I don't and risk breaking dependencies and OS.

I use Ubuntu and have had it on a separate partition for probably 8ish years now(since second year of college). I sometimes bounce to another distro to try for a while, but always come back to Ubuntu because I am used to it.
I am really thinking about looking for another debian based distro(or ubuntu with a different desktop mananger) though because I kind of loath portions of Unity and the amazon integration. I don't mind having the side bar with app icons pinned to it, thats how I keep my win7 desktop setup. I absolutely hate just about everything else though.
For those that are comfortable with windows you may want to check out Zorin OS, its a ubuntu based distro that emulates the windows desktop manager.

On my family computer I have ubuntu 12.10 w/ unity, docky and virtualized win7. Its an i7 with 8gb of ram so I don't care about it not being a light distro.
I chose ubuntu because its the most linux friendly distro and my mom, dad, and sisters use it a lot and I don't feel like being their tech guy all the time.
On my laptop I mostly use windows 7 because it really can't handle the main desktop environments (crappy processors and I've made it overheat a lot so that doesn't help the processors). I don't like how the light desktop environments look so I just use win7. All I do on it is research papers so it all works well lol

Elementary os is a nice ubuntu based distro.
The latest beta is really nice.
Its pretty lightweight too.
I had it on my laptop for a while since it looked nice and it was lightweight.

And Now there's Mavericks. So even more fun! For those who think it's fake. I'll post a video soon . So don't worry. But before a video I have to try Mavericks and couple other things. I'll keep you updated!

There is no way you can get OSX running at an acceptable speed on an ARM architecture. Emulation is really slow and OSX is quite a demanding OS. Just the bootloader and maybe a Darwin shell, sure, but actual OSX, hell no.
Yeah. I'm trying to get that to work. And I know that it's nearly impossible to install mac osx on non apple pc. And here we're talking about different cpu architecture etc. So only someone really bored would do that Well here you have me . At this moment I'm having lots of kernel panics. Maybe in 20-60years I'll make a perfect bootloader that translates code too . LOL. For now it's more like having fun than thinking seriously about this.
