I have the discount codes but I think it is better if I trial Windows 8 first. I have a few programs that may not comply with Windows 8 due to updates given on major version or the lack of recent release yet. Granted, each company may have their own development pace so I can't expect too much for them to keep up with Microsoft. So, Avinash or Ashwin, would you please send me a PM which contains download link to Windows 8 setup?
The way you are asking has made me wonder if you are using a pirated copy of Windows 7?Originally Posted by avibky

You can download Windows 8 enterprise Evaluation 90 Day from here.
Direct from MS.

Can hardly believe that this is the same computer which used to run XP 4 years ago.
It's simply superb and I am enjoying the crispness
Here's my desktop

That's the classic desktop, right? It looks similar to win 7. And I don't see an AV icon, just zemana and MBAM
What about the new interface, do you like it?

Microsoft had fixed the Rs. 699/ $14 upgrade loophole according to this .
Any idea when the retail copies are available in India?

All the reputed AVs support Windows 8 so don't worry about those. I suspect Ashwin is using KIS 2013.That's the classic desktop, right? It looks similar to win 7. And I don't see an AV icon, just zemana and MBAM

Everyone are concerned about my PC's security?
I am using Kaspersky Internet Security 2013, ok here's a screenie.
As Bala requested, it is without the Start button and shows the K icon as Cosme wanted

Cosme asked me if I liked the new interface?
I love the new interfaceMetro UI is too good, since I use 1366x768 on an 18.5 inch wide LCD. It's like in HD. Superb clarity.

Looking at screenshot of Ashwin's desktop and I am beginning to question where is the point in installing Windows 8 without the highly-touted Metro interface?
What is Uchiha Madara's mangekyou sharingan doing there anyway? The one below the magnifier icon.
Man, that sucks! That's why I have been unable to get my third discount codes since yesterday.
