[Calin]

Hi all,
I want to get windows 8 but i don't know if i should installl the rp or buy Pro. Can you tell me new features in pro than rp?

Windows 8 release preview expires in January. Why would you want to install it now.

Well Pro is the finished version... so why would you install a beta now?

This.

I can see a purpose for installing the RP now instead of the released product. For one thing, the RP is free whereas Pro costs at least $40 (for the upgrade). If the OP isn't sure he wants to go with Win 8, he could install the RP, run it for a month or two in order to determine if he likes it, before spending any money.

Makes perfect sense to me.

Does Windows 8 has something you need and that Windows 7 doesn't have?

Anyway if you want Windows 8 and you do like it and want to use it then buy PRO of course.RP is just a beta.

I installed PRO today and I removed Ubuntu.

Do you mean RT? If so, pro is much better for desktops.
