Problem: Yesterday i purchase a copy of Windows eight Professional. When i try to install the copy of windows Eight Professional from DVD drive following error occurred
"Windows Could not collect information for OSI immage file since the specified Immage file install.wim does not exist" PLS help me
As far as I know, there is no upgrade path from Windows 8 CP to Windows 8 Pro. You need to be on a full release OS to upgrade. Try to format your drive and then do a fresh install with the DVD. The dowloaded ISO worked great for me without any issues.
Ya its not working anymore !!
Anyway, I am looking for a complete REVIEW of Windows 8 Pro from FORUM MEMBERS. Please someone put up a REVIEW of Windows 8 in the REVIEW section of this forum.
What I have understood till now is:
- Windows 8 has actually TWO OS environment built into ONE. [ which simply means TWO different Apps for the same task, eg: Mail and Windows Live 2012. ]
- The Metro apps are full screen apps and you cannot minimise them.
- You cannot switch between Metro Apps quickly.
- You don't even know which Metro Apps are currently running.
- Windows 7 like desktop environment has MS Office Ribbon in the explorer all over the place.
- Games developers are not impressed by Windows 8 Metro UI.
Dude, I think you have misunderstood some things here:
- Yes, there are two environments and you have choice to use either of the apps. There is no issue if you dont want to use one or another. Some apps having double versions also gives security related advantages. Like for one, IE 10 when running in New UI mode does not loads all the plugins and everything including its own code runs ina a Sandbox. So its kinda more secure than the desktop version and you can use it for some purposes where this kind of security is required. Desktop version gives you access to all your plugins, the kind of old fashioned browsing experience that you had since always, of course with the enhancements of IE10.
- Metro apps are full screen but you can "minimize" them in two ways. First, go to the top-left of the screen with your mouse and use the app switching bar to switch to another app. Or go to the bottom left of screen and click on the start screen tile kinda thing that appears automatically to go to Start Screen. This will effectively minimize the app and it will be available in App Switching bar like other apps.
- As I said, all the running metro apps show up in the left hand side app switching bar. Plus, the task manager lists them too. Because of the way Modern UI experience way is designed, you cannot have an always on taskbar kind of thing for metro apps and that makes sense for me. Its very quick an easy to move your pointer to access the switching bar.
-Yes the ribbon is now present in most of the places. However, I have not found it much intrusive and like MSOffice, you can make it autohide by double clicking on any of the sections/tabs on it, if you want to use more screen real estate for file browsing in explorer for example. It can be useful at times if you get used to it.
- Well this point I am not an expert to comment about but I don't understand the fuss. For me, All the direct x / open gl games are working as they were in Windows 7 and before and thats the only thing i care about.
Humm...
I am aware of the Shortcut keys ! But the question is why on earth should I use a shortcut key to do things ?? Why I simply cannot use my mouse instead.
The mouse gestures are not responsive at all, even if I take my mouse pointer towards the left the sidebar or whatever it is called never comes out with the running apps listed.
Its not easy to use with
Mouse and Keyboard.
I needn't google for everything like you !!
Or you should have asked Microsoft to include
GOOGLE as
HELP for Windows 8
Read my above points and tell me how many times i have mentioned the use of shortcuts. Almost every action is possible to be done by mouse as well as shortcuts and its not a rocket science that you can use a combination of both to achieve maximum speed. This is the way it is since windows 98, at least for me. Mouse alone or shortcuts alone get cumbersome at one time or another.
So dont just resist it without trying it out yourself. Dont take mine or anybody else's word for it (or anything else in life
), Try it yourself with open mind.
For the laptop I have mentioned in my signature, it has made a lot of difference in terms of performance and increased productivity. There were some initial hiccups for 2 days but now i am using it as my primary os and have no problem at all. I also use Fedora 17 on it now with Virtual Box in 1 GB RAM and 4 virtual processor configuration instead of a separate OS and it works great due to the VTx extensions on ivy bridge processors and low memory usage profile of windows 8.
I had some problems with VPN clients of Cisco and Checkpoint initially. But Cisco one worked with an easy workaround and checkpoint immediately released a fixed version for windows 8. So all good now with me
