hariasa Posted April 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 The current consumer preview has a free license key when you download it from Microsoft.com. It works on a Macbook pro, I tested it. I just don't see the point why you want it. Even though Mac OSX does not 'really' have a touch only GUI, it still can use gestures from a multitouch trackpad easily. Microsoft that now has it's Metro GUI which is primarily for touch, does not support it. I don't see myself switching to Windows 8 before they do. Actually I don't see myself switching to Windows 8 at all because it will take millenia for all the GIS and RS apps to be completely compatible with Metro. So you will have a wonky 'Windows 7' type interface rather than using actual Windows 8 Metro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
