Thread: 2.0 in Windows 8

If 7 can take it you are in very good hands 8 can, and perhaps better.

And we know 7 is supported.

I can't speak for FFXIV, but from what friends have been telling me, 8 is a very slight increase in performance over 7 for games that are compatible.

I can confirm that it is true.

They showed FFXIV ARR running on Win8 at Nico-nama live broadcast so it should be safe.

Anything 7 can run 8 can run, at least in desktop mode. But if you are a hardcore pc user you will tell that front panel shifty touch thing to gtfo anyways. lol

Installed my start button and turned off that panel.. faster windows 7

Unless your PC is touch specific, the add riddled tile feature is a clunky unnecessary addition. Not worth the 70+ bucks in my opinion.

If you have 7 and you dont smoke your money then I wouldnt upgrade - but mine was a free upgrade promotional so.. why not lol

Its faster then 7 and has some neat features (discounting the main screen which is useless to me and I scrapped right away lol)

The prices they are offering for Windows 8 is just crazy. Between the prices for "upgrades", and promotional options for OEM offering free/15$ upgrades....this is the most affordable OS by Microsoft.

Trick is to buy the "upgrade" version for cheap and use the program they give you to make a bootable usb drive to install Windows 8. Once you load into setup from the usb drive, you can opt to do a fresh install, and btw the key still works....whether you do an "upgrade" as the name pertains, or do as I state and do a "clean" install.
