The requirements for Windows 8 are the same as Windows 7, which means if your machine is capable of Windows 7 it is ready for Windows 8: Still not impressed or wanna see more? See the below video to see the OS Live in action and what to expect in the consumer preview: See the trailer below of what to expect in Windows 8 and whether this is the OS for you.

Windows 8 is going to be a spectacular OS which will show us windows like we have never seen it before, not only will it have a revamped look but it will offer new features like XBOX Live integration and LifeTiles as seen in Windows Phone 7 OS. If you are having trouble installing the OS I will make a guide on how to properly burn the ISO tomorrow, for now download your OS and keep it at the ready for install. Windows 8 is the obvious successor to Windows 7 but it comes with MANY changes which is sure to please many people, while the developer preview was released last year there is now a consumer preview out which is available for free and is obviously a trial OS until the real OS comes, but considering this is a trial OS which comes from free this doesn't mean that ALL the features of Windows 8 are fully implemented in it just yet but at least you can get used to Windows 8 ahead of its release later this year and get ready to use it on your laptop / desktop.
