Anyone install FFXIV on Windows 8 dev preview?

Yep. That's a huge pet peeve of mine too. I use the hell out of that search. Performance gains aren't there, it's not designed for desktops (whether it works for them is besides the point) and they've removed usability features such as the aforementioned start menu search (along with the start menu itself). Forget about it, I'm not installing it just because 7 < 8.

The start menu search is there. There's just no obvious field for it..


Press the windows key to bring up start and begin typing, the search results show immediately and then divided by files, applications, and system settings.

For Example:
I type "Fantasy Fantasy" at the start menu. The first default field is the applications, which will show Final Fantasy XIV immediately. Then if i were to hit the down key or click on the "Files" tab it will show all of the Final Fantasy audio tracks/folders.


Your article links are also flawed.
2 of them being the same story about Gabe not liking the new store commissions.
The other is somewhat legit. the start menu can become clumbersome with when installing alot of games, but this is remedied by simply typing the title of the game you wish to play.

The comment on it harder for OC'd CPUs alot not a big deal. If it's not stable in Win8, guess what, it's not stable on Win7 either.
