The world will eventually go there. Question I have at this point is, what with the whole Metro redesign, has anyone who is running Win8 found any incompatibilities with existing software?

The latest and greatest isnt necessarily the best. But this is coming from someone who uses XP and wouldnt have installed Vista if it was given to me for free. coolmd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

I will be buying Win 8 x64 as soon as I get caught up with some bills.It uses a bit less memory and loads apps ALOT faster than Win 7 x64. Start8 is $4.99 from Stardock http://www.stardock....roducts/start8/ It's a must for any gamer.So you can get Win 8 and Start8 for $45 and you will have a LEGAL fully registered and activated OS.Not a bad investment for the money. Metro does suck balls but you can edit a couple registry entries so it doesn't load Metro at start up. XFire is a PITA. It seems to update every time I'm in game and it HAS to close or Minimize your apps to update for some stupid reason.
