hey guys so today we're here with a discussion about windows 8 and today I've got two special guests so Adam Lewis you wanna go ahead and introduce yourself hey guys my name is Adam you can find me at youtube.com slash tech tech man TV I make all kinds of tech videos and yeah and lewis and you can find me at youtube.com / lluis Macintosh and I just make technology videos in general alright so today we're going to be talking a lot about our thoughts on windows 8 if you guys missed it earlier this week Microsoft did announce and release the windows 8 not I guess developer previews the correct word for it and it's just basically a very early version of windows 8 and all three of us have had a few days to go ahead and get it and kind of try it out and everything so let's go and give you guys some of our thoughts so probably the biggest thing not probably it is the biggest thing is the Metro UI no no you guys have been coming from OS 10 or did your thoughts on metro UI and what do you think it really brings to windows so I think it really brings another factor to Windows it kind of is like having two os's even though you know it's not I think it gives a lot of use for a tablet and that's the main thing i really see going towards metro UI i think it's going to really be great on tablets on the look on the desktop a little bit awkward still but I think it'll get wall get used to it for a while I think it opens up a new market for Microsoft in just tablets because usually their windows seven tablets just suck and with this new metro I Metro UI it looks so much better and then I found myself basically having a switch between Windows 7 desktop and the Metro you want it so you can probably integrate that a little bit better kind of feel just like multitasking two different operating systems yeah absolutely yeah one of the things is I it's good and bad i think on the one hand being able switch between they want all the standard Windows 7 desktop and your Windows 8 you know Metro UI that's nice because you still have your full functionality that you have in windows 7 on the other hand though I don't think it's quite as a cohesive experience as it could be i think it's kind of a little jarring to go from you thinking y'all horizontally scrolling this kind of stuff to being able to go back to your normal desktop and i don't know i'm not i'm not sold on the implementation of it yet i think that Microsoft I definitely do well I'm sure they definitely well I mean you know windows 8 supply a year will show away from release but I think there's a lot that they could do to know kind of make it a little bit better of an experience now beyond that there are also some other new changes for example the windows App Store what do you guys think kind of course you have the mac app store everything what do you guys kind of think about you know something like the windows app store and so the other changes that kind of jumped adds you about Windows 8 so with the windows App Store I think it's going to be honestly better than the mac app store for the main reason is that there's a lot more users on the pc there's a lot more apps made for Windows and that's one of the reasons why I don't use the mac app store too much you know there's just not that many applications compared to slang like the android market or the iphone app store and on the Windows Store I'm sure it's going to be a lot better and pretty much on the mac app store there aren't that much applications compared to windows so it's pretty much gonna be like the opposite on the mobile phone where Apple has a ton of applications and now those has little some be the total opposite and plus it'll be just a much safer place to get programs without getting viruses or scamming getting scammed or anything like that yeah I agree one of the big things about at with no windows is there's lots of free programs this kind of stuff but you never know where they're gonna you install toolbars or you know like spyware and just just kind of just junk on your computer and that really drives me crazy so those guys it's going to be about it for our brief thoughts on Windows 8 overall I'm pretty excited about Windows 8 I think it's gonna be a really solid operating system
