Microsoft Windows 8 Packaging?

Steve said:
While looks are subjective, I think most of you will agree that these leaked Windows 8 packaging images are seriously fugly. Then again, it's all about what's in the box that matters, right? :eek: What do you think?

Well in this case I'd say the box give a pretty good impression of what is on the inside.

Personally I'm going to grab this one: http://www.stardock.com/products/start8/

I like Metro fine, but I'm sort of claustrophobic in a sense that I'd like to see my desktop all the time. Start8 gives you the option of making Metro into a cornered Start Menu rather than full screen.

I'm super pumped you posted that. I was looking for something pretty much exactly like that as I also thought it was dumb that the start screen was full screen no matter what.
 
Someone shook a "can of gay" all over that box in the picture.

Who cares what the packaging looks like? FFS, 90% of Windows 8 users won't be buying retail copies.
 
Getting weird 90s, Global Village Teleport Bronze modem flashbacks right now. It's probably because of the colors used. Couldn't they, like, put some other kind of art in the background? A picture collage? Whatever default wallpaper Windows 8 is going to have (as long as it's not that fish)? Hell, a flat color? *Sigh*... whatever. It's not like I'm going to buy a physical retail box anyway.
 
Are we actually having a thread about the Windows 8 box? I can't believe I wasted my time with a response!
 
Hmm looks ok to me, the vomit of colours is a little noisy though. Probably would have been better off with a cleaner single color matte finish for the slide out section.
 
I was going to purchase this operating system but the retail box has a color scheme I don't like so I will be switching to Linux. Am I cool now?
 
I honestly think these are probably fake. There is way too much pattern on that box, it doesn't fit the metro aesthetic and the boxes look way bigger than the current ones. I can't see them getting bigger.
 
o_O

not sure who puked art deco all over the box, and then tried to clean it up.. hrrm.
 
Whats everyone so excited about? I haven't even seen Windows 8 yet. Heck, we are still trying to get my company up to Windows 7 off of XP. So we have what, another 5-7 years before we'll have to upgrade to 8 anyways. :)
 
Looks like a rayon shirt I bought from Marry-Go-Round in the early '90s.
 
I seriously thought they were going to re-release a legacy wi.does OS with this packaging.
