إلى جانب إطلاق نظام التشغيل الموجه للمس، كانت شركاء مايكروسوفت في مجال الأجهزة مثل أسوس وإيكر ودل وHP ولينوفو Samsung وسوني وتوشيبا حاضرين أيضًا لعرض أجهزتهم التي تعمل بمحرك Windows 8. كان هناك أجهزة كمبيوتر محمولة وأجهزة أولترابوك وهجينة وأجهزة كمبيوتر من نوع All-In-One، لكن معظم الحماس جاء من أجهزة لوحية تعمل بـ Windows 8 مثل Acer Iconia W510 وASUS Vivo Tab و Samsung ATIV Tab وSony VAIO Duo 11، وغيرها الكثير.

Today, while I was at work, my cousin stole my iPad and tested to see if it can survive a thirty foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation.
My iPad is now destroyed and she has 83 views.

I know this is completely off topic but I had to share it with someone!

Haaay! I really wanna see in person that Nokia Lumia 920.

sykes · 14 years ago

Sir Louie Diangson, update naman po sa mga windows phone 8 po oh,, kung kelan sila magiging available sa Pinas and anu yung price nila? sa UK kasi yung 820 available na doon… Thanks

Louie Diangson · 14 years ago

No definite launch date and pricing as of the moment, sir.

Jes · 14 years ago

Been using the pre-release version for months now on a 4-year old Lenovo X60 laptop. Very smooth! I’m really impressed!

jeypi eligio · 14 years ago

how about the availability and pricing of the lumia 920 and 820??is there any information you gather?

Jose Burgos · 14 years ago

Hi,

All prices are for windows 8 are for upgrade versions only. correct?

or you can get retail box windows 8 pro in those prices if you have xp or 7? just correct me if i’m wrong.

joseph · 14 years ago

You can buy the upgrade with retail box for $69.99, pero yung $14.99 na promo pure download lang yun tapos kung gusto mo mag karoon ng disc talaga may extra bayad but i think backup disc lang xa not the disc with the retail box.

Hi louie.

Any news from Microsoft Phils. regarding the release of Surface in the Philippines?

Louie · 14 years ago

Hi miongb,

We didn’t get any info regarding the Surface tablet. I don’t think it was even mentioned during the event.

EJ · 14 years ago

Sir, where was this event held? Was this an exclusive event? Thanks.

denden_08 · 14 years ago

I think sa SM North Edsa yan. Nag-held ang Microsoft ng event para i-showcase mga bagong laptops and devices with Windows 8. I went there while we’re on a short vacation.

purapura · 14 years ago

it was in maxim hotel. resorts world. i was there. i love acer laptops. but all are expensive i must tell you.

Name: IC DeaDPiPoL · 14 years ago

what the price for the local release?

CharlieManok · 14 years ago

With Windows 8, Microsoft created a better transition from existing devices to touchscreen generation. Its totally different from W7, and its totally better. Although W8 is preferred with a touchscreen input, and familiarizing many gestures seem so tiring, its really much easier to use. Apple should have done the same with their OS-upgrade from iOS 5 to iOS 6.

Berto Putik · 14 years ago

Available pa po bang mapuntahan ang place na to para makita yung mga nasabing devices na kasama sa launching?

LadyGagay · 14 years ago

Available na bang yang windows 8 devices na yan sa mga stores? Or i have to wait for christmas? I wanted to buy windows 7 laptop pero gusto ko kasi pre-installed windows 8 os. Kaya naghintay ako. Kung available na sya, diretso na ko sa mall bukas.

pong · 14 years ago

sa mid november pa daw maglalabasan sa stores

JOHN · 14 years ago

Yes, available na. I went to the Sony store and their laptops are preloaded with Windows 8.

berkanoshow · 14 years ago

Yuga and Louie, the promotion for those who recently bought Windows 7 or Windows 7 PCs is USD 14.99, the USD 39.99 is for the rest of us (until the offer lasts). I didn’t have to attend a launch to get that.

Just installed on my 3-year old Vista-running Asus. It took more than 3 hours to complete! Feels like my old clunker of a machine has been reborn to a whole new dimension! Awesome!

Louie Diangson · 14 years ago

Runs well on my old Acer Aspire One ZG5 netbook. Have to connect it to a larger display though if I want to make use of the apps.

thecorrescode · 14 years ago

3 hours to install? That is unacceptable.

Kanda · 14 years ago

Why did it take you 3 hours to install?
Did you do an upgrade installation?
Please let me know because I’m interested in upgrading my laptop into Windows 8.

I have my Windows 8 disc since September all thanks to my Microsoft DreamSpark Premium membership and I’m still thinking if I should use it or not.

Enya · 14 years ago

Downloading the 2-gig Win8 Pro on a 2mbps during a peak afternoon ate up the first two hours.

joseph · 14 years ago

3 hours – i think that includes the Windows 8 Pro download. When you upgrade, Windows Upgrade Assistant will download 2.63GB worth of files to run the Windows 8 Pro installer.

After the download you are given the option to burn it into a disc or copy over to USB or just leave it then and there and continue installation of Windows 8.
