Technically 8 "should" be better for gaming because it's much more memory efficient and the core code is cleaner. I also have not ran into anything that won't run on 8.

They usually focus on console first that is where the moniker is, and pc platform is the least profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Hated it at first, getting used to it now. Old comp had XP. Quite a change, and there is definitely a learning curve. I can run COD 5 with no problems. Unfortuntely Windows 8 is the way of the future unless you go Mac. Guess we just gotta live with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acorn? LOLOLOL Just google Windows 8 start menu, there are several free solutions available that work great. I can set up a Win 8 PC now so you can't hardly tell it's not windows 7. I have to say, after setting up 8 on several customer computers, I actually like it. Once you get past the mess that is Metro, there's a lot of cool features/updates that make managing the PC easier. One thing I really like is the ability to delete all but the last restore point. Windows 7 just nukes all of them. It's the little things that make Win 8 better.
