Re: What are the substantive reasons to reject Windows 8?

User interface.

That's the reason if you like it or not.

I agree. I gave win8 a shot installing it on a standard dell we deploy here at work. The version of McAfee we install wont work. When I installed office 2010, it shows up on the metro start menu but opens up in the version I call "Windows 7 with no start button".

I need my start button, no start screen will ever replace my button! Im sorry. I also dont like this app store. They are trying way too hard to act like apple. Like this new windows blue, they are going to charge for it? Windows 8 hasn't even been out that long.... And this Office 365 is office 2013 but in the cloud that you pay $100 for a year to use? Dont forget office 2013 Home and Student only gives you 1 key rather then Office 2010 giving you 3 keys for the same price.

Microsoft is losing it. Plz bring back teh billz gates pl0x.

You need McAfee VirusScan Pro with hot fix 3.

I just deployed a new McAfee ePO server and that is a requirement for supporting Win 8.

Just to add what workablob See Profile has said about McAfee and Windows 8. I've added a picture of the about screen showing the version, as well as the installed patch level.

Patch 3 will only install on Windows 8. From what I read on McAfee's site, there is a Patch 4 in the works that will run on any OS, but I don't think it is out yet.

I downloaded the VirusScan program with 3 included. There are two setup exe's. One is for 8 and one is for pre 8.

If you deploy via ePO it will install the appropriate exe.

Been Running Windows 8 Pro 64bit since October 26th 2012, and Very Happy with Windows 8 Here, for the following Reasons

Metro/Moderm Start screen doesn't bother me one bit, I use that 50/50 percent of the time, (maybe was used to it already since had a Windows Phone prior to getting Windows 8)

Quad Core Processor and AMD video runs Windows 8 great

All my programs and games work great

Full screen email program isn't a big pain in my eyes now, i'll admit was a little at first, but not anymore

Overall Very happy and can't wait to update to Windows 8.1 later this year to fix whatever issues that need fixing
