Windows 8 Support

[Shadow.97]

it seems the only legal way for you is switching for linux. If you stick with windows 8 other specialists will perhaps answer you. I heard there is no permanent activation possible, if your copy is not legit.

Call it "activation" or whatever, the bottom line is it will work! There are tons of "activators" (or whatever you want to call them) out there, almost all will do the job. Many of the ones that require rearming will even rearm automatically every 6 months or so. My 100% pirated laptop is fully functional after 4 months, not even a sneeze.

I too have Linux (Mint 14 Cinnamon) on a partition on my 2nd hard drive. When I want to boot into Linux, I simply hit F8 at bootup so the boot menu will come up. The problem is simple lack of support, at least compared to Windows. Off the top of my head I can think of 3 things I do where I must use Windows. I know Mint has an emulator, but frankly if I already have Windows, I see no need to use one.

IDo you know a simple line of code to load a Windows 7/xp desktop in Linux mint? Because I liked Mint when I tried it but I didn't bother to keep it because of my games not working as they should when running them with Wine.(Cinnamon)

only few apps on windows are intended to be compatible with mint and probably not games.

One indicator of an "old PC" is one that still has a single core processor. Dual core or higher has no problem with Windows 7 or 8. How long has it been since anyone made a single core CPU? My laptop is about 5 years old. It has a T6600 Intel Dual Core, 2.2 gHZ. I run Windows 8 on it and so far I've never had a problem - in fact I'm noticing Windows 8 runs faster and better than Windows 7 on it.

yesterday i installed Win 8 x32 evaluation, on pc evey thing is good, but when i shut down pc, the power on light on pc is still on, i plugged of the power switch, when i plugged it again, the lights or now on again. while on xp & 7 lights are on only when pc is on.
i installed win 8 just for fun, 7 is my most favourite windows.

Strange. If you shut down everything should also turn off. Don't you just turn the power off with the switch on the surge protector, as I do? Certainly if did that and turned it back on, it won't know anything about Windows 8.

What computer do you have that prompted you to use the 32bit version? Even on a slow 64bit compatible system, W8 runs better than W7. I know that because it's like that on laptop.

any one have the link to download untouched edition of Windows 8 Pro?

I don't know exactly what you mean by "untouched" but I do know this - the vast majority of W8 copies you see on there will work. There are also about 10⁶⁰⁰ activators, and most of them work.

Do yourself a favor and sign up for a free account on the Pirate Bay. You don't need one to leech anything, but you do need one to ask questions, leave messages and maybe upload something (not required).

And speaking of torrent sites, what's with h33t?

And speaking of torrent sites, what's with h33t?

Torrent site H33t has been down for a while, after both its .com and .eu domains were seized. The site has officially moved on to a domain of the island of Tonga, in the Pacific Ocean.

The new H33t.to has been available since October 16, but the tracker is currently offline as the site’s owner says some work needs to be done before it goes back to into use.

“I am holding h33t offline until the latest DNS update is fully propagated, she will be back within 48 hours,” a message reads.

That means the site should become available any time now, at the latest in the next few days if things do not work out as planned.

H33t.com domain got seized back in September and the site moved to .eu a few days later. On September 28 the European domain stopped working as well.

@to jastreb or whoever wrote this: As I see it, our friends at h33t are doing something wrong. Off the top of my head I can name no less than 5 torrent sites which have been up forever and remain up. Clearly these other sites are doing something to cover their tracks. I just opened 2 of them in another tab. Flagfox says they're hosted in Europe, but honestly I don't think that's the case. In the mean time I've seen h33t's screen many times - hopefully one day they'll get back on track soon.

Back to Windows - has anyone tried Windows 8.1 yet? I have a few questions for you.
