Is there any need to switch directly to W8? I guess not...

I'm still holding on to Win XP with a death grip. Everything just works and I don't need 64 bit. I just got a new computer at work, a nice i3 with a fresh inhstallation of WinXp. The corporation I work for has thousands of computers and all those in our office run Xp so it looks like it will be around and supported for a while at least. I suppose the switch to Win 7 at home is inevitable but I'm hoping it won't be for quite some time. If it ain't broke..........

No seriously, tell me who's daft enough to transit a working system to a new OS just because a new OS comes out. So we can all slap the daft out of them.
... maybe when you change computer?... :roll:
Yes, exactly. Slap them for putting an OS thats just come out on a new audio system, especially if its to immediately replace an old audio system.

And if they ever actually categorised themselves as 'professional' and then do something as daft as that, slap them until you have to bury the body.

Why? If you still have your installer W7 discs then just reinstall what you had.. BINGO! ;-)

i ignore where you live, but here when you buy computers, they come with OS already installed. If you buy a new pc (or mac) they give you the ultimate os, which is supposed to work better and with higher performance... :roll:

Does your os cause your monitor to move up and down in a rolling motion.

ah, ok... you are a geek. I am just a musician, sorry. I want a machine to just work for me, not the contrary.

A geek? Lol and you are? Show me your work as a musician i'd like to hear your masterpieces. You come across as some pretty rude c**t on here so anyways let's go for it.. friday is a good day i'm feeling up for a good old argument today ;-)

is "geek" a bad word in english? If yes, sorry, i did not mean to be rude. In Italy "geek" means "an expert". I mean: i have no passion for computer science, I use them for music. If I go and buy a machine it HAS to work for me well, why should I install something else, change things etc.?! Sorry for language barrier.

Sounds like one of those 'they will have to pry XP out of my cold dead fingers!!!' sort of things... :cry: :hihi: :hihi:

Actually it is kind of funny here..at work we use a combination of Vista and XP...at home it is vista and W7...

I did not know it is something offensive, sorry. Here "a geek" means something of "a genious" e.g. bob moog, richard stallman, frank zappa etc. I don't know if they wear glasses, though 8)

It's not really offensive but i'm neither of the above.. i make sounds and music lol i just don't care for the technical side of things as usually discussed on here. I'm only interested in the sounds i can get out of synths and my own music.. i couldn't care what an LFO or a Zero Feedback delay does.. now that talk is for Geeks of which i have no interest.

Like you i'm a musician and just want the synth and setup to work as it should mate i just don't care much for Geek talk around here hence i don't enter those topics :D

"Geek" isn't offensive just as "Nerd" isn't but some people use it that way. I'm a geek and a nerd and don't have a problem with that :hihi:

Regarding Win8, I'm still on XP here and that won't change in the near future :)

Cheers
