Despite having no start button which many people are probably use to, Windows 8 runs faster and is better optimized then 7.

Yoshi-P has been demoed ARR on an Ultrabook running Win8 on nico-live event 2 weeks ago so it's no problem to run ARR on Win8.

But speaking for driver, a JP gamer's info site "4Gamer" tested FF14 benchmark (current version) on Win7 and Win8 for the same HW configuration, the Win8 loses some little (<100) score.

Remember, the driver issue can be solved very quickly.

I miss threads about grass.

You know why it's so cheap? They can't give it away fast enough. People dispise the new layout and lack of a start button. W8 is the new Vista/ME.

Lack of a start butt--- Ugh... Seriously, it's incredibly stupid how people who've never tried it keep bashing it. You know, if you take the damned mouse pointer where the start button is supposed to be, it pops up. Still, remember that nifty Windows key on your keyboard? It... kinda still works. -.-

I don't know why anyone would want to move to win 8 anyway, its a horrid interface...its geared towards, touch screens, tablets, and phones, not for gaming at all

Even though most games have been shown to run better. And the start menu (the only big interface change) has little to nothing to do with gaming. Fuck yeah, logic.

I'll take the performance gains made in windows 8 when they end up in windows 9, thanks. Why would I want an interface designed for a touch screen when I don't have a touch screen? You're right, I don't. Windows 7 works perfectly for me. I don't upgrade for the sake of upgrading, there has to be significant weight to the argument, minor performance increases don't cut it for me. Minor performance increase while hindering my workflow? no thanks!

You know Windows "Blue" (supposedly 9) is coming out this summer, right?
