Is win8 lighter and faster as for consuming resources?-kilele (November 21, 2012, 06:27 AM)
--- End quote ---
it's hard to say here, I have 7 on an i5 desktop and 8 on a lower end laptop.
8 boots incredibly fast which is great on a laptop - but would make zero difference to me on the desktop...
I suspect if you google it, that someone has done a head to head comparision

Maybe this situation with Windows 8 could turn out to be a new opportunity for the alternative shell scene (what's left of it, that is). :huh:
Quick google search implies nobody's tried Win8 + Litestep or Blackbox.
Time will tell...
Jimdoria:
Well, Stardock has already come out with an add on that brings back the Start Menu to Win 8...
