Anybody try out FFXIV on Windows 10

[MeiUshu]

they went straight from 8 to 10, although this is not yet available in my country not even as a beta. I need to wait mid of next year lol...cant complain by then all those that had it already will have got all troubles and I will get the clear version....(evil laugh sort of kind of)

Where did 9 go?

I read a few of the articles talking about Windows 10. Remember two reasons why they said they skipped to 10. One of them was the corny joke "Seven ate Nine", I was like really?. Another article said the developers felt that the new OS was so Advance that they had to skip a number, which is pretty stupid since this is from the same idiots that gave us windows 8.

For the curious: http://techreport.com/news/27144/thi...lled-windows-9

This seems like the most logical answer from a tech standpoint.

And I have yet to try the game on Windows 10 yet, the beta just came out like yesterday. Probably still really buggy.

Sorry to derail this thread with an answer to the OP, but:

This guy, apparently, did.

Considering that Windows 8.1 is the most recent version of windows... I think you'd better delete that ISO immediately, because, you know, there's no such thing as Windows 10 as of yet, and it's probably some sort of virus that will F your computer up hardcore.

The power of the google failed this one and the 4 people who liked this post.

You don't determine the windows version on the name string, you do so on the version string - also windows XP and up can fake the name and version strings

A wise and practiced programmer would, but a lazy or ignorant one wouldn't. You'd be surprised how many are in the latter category.

What's the point in upgrading to 10 anyway? 7 is perfectly fine, no?

No point right now unless you like testing the latest preview, but it might actually be worth upgrading this time when the final version releases, skip 8 either way.

well we have Vista which was NT6
Then we have 7 which was NT6.1 and the seventh OS on the NT kernel.
then we have 8 which is NT6.2 and the eight OS on the NT kernel.
Then 8.1 which was NT6.3 and the ninth OS on the NT kernel..
Now we have 10, which is 6.4 and the 10th OS on the NT kernel.

Is windows 10 even part of the NT kernel? Last I knew they were working on unifiying all the kernals so all microsoft devices were on the same thing.

10 is pretty much 8.1 with some slight GUI changes. It's more of a PR upgrade than an OS upgrade. Everyone in the enterprise world hates the forced fullscreen start screen crap, so they made changes. I guess they skipped 9 to circumvent a lot of scripting runs looking for 9* to run rules specific to Win95 or Win98 apps.

Windows 10 was just announced, by no means is that OS ready for usage with gamers until it's available for in-store purchase or download.

Windows 9 would have been too strong
The strongest in fact
