[RESOLVED] Windows 8 worth the jump?

[egdufwollamhsram1851]

I don't really need another pc, but windows 8 looks interesting but would need win pro/// Would i be better off to keep running my desktop vista 32 bit, and win 7 64 bit lap top? How about jumping to Ubuntu?


tks

bigger hard drives would be a plus

egdufwollamhsram1851 --What do you hope Win8 or Ubuntu will give you that Win7 won't?

I can't think of 1 single thing that will make me want to move to Win8. If anything, upgrade the Vista to Win 7.

I would agree on the upgrading vista to Win7. I like Win8, but you should try it out first to see if you like it. I'm not very fond of Ubuntu, but others like it. Win7 and Win8 are better than Ubuntu in my opinion, but agin others may not agree.

I'Ve always wanted to run ubuntu but haven't , i have a cousin with 8 pc's none with windows,

i don't really know what to expect different with 8 vs 7, it appears the brick style, have to go to pro right away however,, i do like 7 better than vista.

Run it from a bootable cd then.

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD

It called a live cd. That way to can test it without having to install it.

[egdufwollamhsram1851]

i may have a 10 version of ubuntu

that page of cd live has some headings page is incomplete, maybe because there is a 12 version or better?

[Train]

Yes there is 12.10
http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop

They even have a link on how to:

Try Ubuntu before you install it

If you’re not yet sure about installing Ubuntu, you can try it out without affecting your current system.

this isn't exactly the same link, but it doesn't seem to have the page information missing

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ge...the_Ubuntu_ISO

is it different?



on there site id says to have your cd or stick handy, do you have to burn it as you download it? Never did that?

[Train]

Do not remember as it has been just to long.
