All Windows 7 games run on Windows 8 without issue, for the most part. I've not yet hit one that does not, and I purchase 5-6 a month. The claim that game manufacturers do not support Windows 8 is horseplop unless your version of "supporting Windows 8" is a giant sticker on the box that SAYS "FOR WINDOWS EIGHT!!!!11!!".
It doesn't really need to be stated. Windows 8 has a full desktop GUI that really is not terribly different than Windows 7, and around here, most of the W8 detractors are guys that will openly admit they have never even tried it
I disagree with you Duce. I take my experience. I have used windows 8. I hate it. I would not even upgrade my parent's business computer to windows 8.
1. one game I had to change it to windows xp sp3 for compatibility. The game would lag very bad. It was slow before I fix it.
2. one game I had it was so tiny that you could not see it.
3. Windows 8 in 1 year become slow on the desktop. It was taking long time to load up. (Sandybridge I3 3.30ghz 12Gb of Ram)
4. I am not going to spend hours figuring out how to trouble shoot compatibility for games.
5. Every session of w8 the video driver would crash. There was no new driver for it.
6. Defragment was a fail.
7. Windows 8 is the new Windows Me
Tile everything that junk. It not really windows it just a touch screen thing for useless traditional desktop interface. I am not going to spend 400-1000 dollars for touch-screen monitor. Pretty much the operation system is brand new.
Most of the W8 detractors knows that it not worth the money. Nor is it worth the time. You have to relearn how to use windows unless your person like me. I got a free third party application that adds an start menu button to it. All the applications are on the list. It made my life easier.
