Just curious if anyone else is experimenting yet. I have a TechNet account so I have installed Windows 8 on a Virtual Machine, tossed on Office 2013 Preview and began to get familiar with the OS. My company tends to jump to new operating systems as they come out, so I expect by the end of the year to be running Windows 8.
Starting my experimentation with RSLogix5000, so far it's installed ok and seems to work. Have not done much programming with it yet.
Downer is you lose Windows XP Mode, only a concern for the fact that you don't have to worry about Window XP VM licensing, otherwise I don't see it as that big of a loss. Most organizations will have XP licensing of some form still available.
Anyway, I'm curious to impressions. At first I hated the lack of the start menu, but it's forced me to learn some more keyboard shortcuts which I'm grateful for. And swapping back and forth isn't as disruptive as I thought it would be. However I'm not running Windows 8 full time yet, just here and there when I can.
Discuss if you're jumping forward, or deathly afraid of another OS!!!!!
