OK so I’ve been trying to decide whether I should upgrade from Windows 7 Ultimate to Windows 8 Enterprise or not. To help me decide I installed Windows 8 Enterprise in a virtual machine just to see what I thought. I installed some of the programs I use a lot too. They all work!
Windows 8 seems pretty nice, but I don’t a reason why I’d upgrade - especially as I don’t have a toucscreen monitor. I may upgrade anyway, I quite like the OS.
I added the Start Button and Menu using Classic Shell by the way which is a free application.
Because Windows isn't activated yet, I can't customise my Metro/Tiles screen.
