Tôi đã xài Windows 8 qua và không thích xài! vì khó vào classic menu, install software hay không vào được windows registry - dành cho người mới xài pc như xài iPad thì OK. Dân pro chẳng thấy có gì hay cả

Khi install để dual-boot thì không edit boot menu được - tự động chọn Windows 8 để boot - khi chọn lại Windows 7 thì mất thì giờ - vì Windows 8 xài boot menu khác với Windows 7. Nếu xài chung với XP thì trong máy có 3 cái bootmenu khác nhau!

Hiện giờ Windows 8 chưa có cái switch để đổi từ classic menu (Start >) qua Metro UI được dể dàng - khi nào có version 8 final với cái switch đổi start menu và Metro UI thì may ra đáng xài
