I've just seen so many mixed reviews of it i'm in the air.There's been a lot of talk that gamer's should not have anything to do with it.Any reviews would help..Thanks!

It may do well on Windoze tablets but offers nothing new for desktop users. It is such a departure from the way we're accustomed to using desktop Windows operating systems that it's hardly worth installing on a desktop. Stick with W7.

My employer has a MSDN membership so I was able top get it a while ago. The "Modern", or "Metro" tiled interface is not suitable for desktops or laptops. Enough has been said about that. The traditional Windows environment is excellent and is an improvement on the Windows 7 code. Microsoft did a great job of optimizing the heck out of it. I like the flat look and it seems faster. MS did some tricks to make boot-up time much faster. I use a free program called "Classic Shell" that boots the system into the Windows 7-like desktop and puts a start menu on the bottom left, so I now really like working in Windows 8. I can easily switch to a Metro screen if I want (I never do) or work with the applications that I'm used to on the desktop environment that I prefer. I haven't tried games on it yet, but I can't see any reason why they wouldn't run the same as or better than in Windows 7. I may load up COD-WAW on it sometime to try it out. Sorry for being brief here - I'm just heading off to work. I can try and answer any other questions when I get back later. Warface 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
