Re: Windows 8 build 8158 images leak, show off new Metro Screen
There are those who live a blessed existence, where everything they touch turns to gold, and then there's the rest of us.
I had one horrible experience with dual booting, years ago and it turned out disastrous. I'm just not willing to go through that again.
I test so many programs including various OS's, that I just find it easier to keep things separated. I have at least five different OS's laying around here on different HD's and if I get tired of playing with one, I just reformat that HD and put something else on it. On my main PC, Windows 8 now occupies the HD that formerly held "Peppermint". My second installation of Win-8 is running all by itself on a six year old Compaq desktop. I'm really surprised at how well that 64 bit OS runs on an old 32 bit, single core, AMD CPU, with just 2 gig's of DDR ram.
Since the install, I've had not one bit of trouble with that install.
Not too surprising, Win-8 won't run my script to force a restore point. Very disappointing!
But I've found that the program "ERUNT", which makes a backup of the registry, Works Great,
and it even offers to put itself in the Startup folder, for a daily backup of the registry. They are
assuming that people shut their computers off every day when they're through using them, like I do.
Happy New Year!
