    Default Re: Windows source 8

    I am not using that for a few reasons...

    1 - I have an IT degree... that thing is BRAND spanking new and probably full of bugs. I don't trust any OS that is out for at least the first 2 years OR until the majority of the bugs are worked out.

    2 - I like what works for what I do. XP or Windows 7. Most people don't get when you move to a new OS like that, your setup might have issues. It could be everything works but one thing... or nothing else works with one thing. People are just not getting caught up to making drivers for different things for that OS. Even thpugh Plug and play exists and Windows usually finds it for you - sometimes the software us cam girls used, have to be found or modified, or tried the old fashioned way.

    3 - You don't know what security risks are on Windows 8 right yet. I am sure they are saying it's the best OS ever and blahblahfuckityblah - but we pride ourselves on privacy... so referring back to the bugs, I'd wait for them to make sure it works. Just look at the issues they had with Windows 7 before the rolled out 3 or 4 service packs for it. Updating is one thing - but when you change the majority of an OS after it was in stages of development for almost 5 years - there's no excuse for that crap. I was in college in 2003 and they called Windows 7 Longhorn then - and they just released it how long ago? I can imagine that in 2005 - they started developing this and now it's released...

    4 - Use that at your own risk. Back up your stuff. Back up your files. Check ALL of your software and cam to see if it's compatible so you play it safe. Another suggestion, f you have two computers or a junky PC, try a test install on one of them with the OS to make sure it works for you before you even deal with it. Windows offers the free trials of the operating systems - don't just go with it because it's called the next best thing. It might not be for you.

    This is just in my opinion. I try not to be a know it all either but these are my experiences and what I have read here with different cams and software... What I have learned throughout the years jumping to different operating systems and in the cam world and while PCs and their OS do evolve... it is usually the same on everyone. Some of it has to do with what I went to school for. I haven't checked out WIndows 8 yet and I have no intention to for at least a year - or until I get a junk PC to test it out. I have to have a computer that is reliable with the innerds being dependable in order to pay my bills... so there is no way I am taking a shot on something that just came out and is probably going to go through 10 huge updates before hand. More so, even after those updates are done, and it happened with Windows 7 - most of your stuff won't work when it happens... then they keep messing with things. Repeat. Mess it up. Repeat. Break the PC or go back to old OS. LOL.

    Its actually called the SURFACE but honesty I have a laptop that I got just for camming that came with Windows 8 and I dont like it. Im actually going to my nearest Microsoft store pretty soon to have them downgrade it to 7 and my laptop was about $500 so if you have half a grand to burn get a real laptop.

    I dont have any experiance with tablets and camming but I personally dont think anybody should do it unless the divice can support external USB cameras because the cameras in them are not the kind of quality you want for camming as far as I know. I have seen some threads about them tho in the camming forum. My suggustion is to get a real laptop but if you really do want to go the tablet route find the threads in here about them to get more info and maybe you can find or be on your way to find a good tablet for your needs.
