Windows 8 is clearly developed as a tablet oriented OS. If a user has little experience of tablet usage then everything would not make any sense at first. I still feels awkward even after using it for a while.

Finally got a spare time to play around with my four old years PC, and decided to download Windows 8 Consumer Preview, see if its really great. This PC  currently runs Windows 7.

I choose to download the ISO version because the online setup application refuse to install and keep saying I have connection problem. I used virtual clone drive to mount the ISO image and once it mounted, let the autorun do its job and then installation begin shortly.
