Still not getting Windows 8 at all. Why should we have to use 3rd party programs to bring back basic functionality that we are used to?

I still prefer other shells such as LiteStep better, but at least this will give people some of the features they want back.

Because it's Microsoft.

I am just going to skip Windows 8 entirely. The only people stupid enough to make a PC game solely Windows 8 compatible would be Microsoft and I know I could skip their games.

It's great that people who have Windows 8 can now do this, but it should be there to begin with.

  • SuperPI is my favourite game
I didn't skip Vista because I thought it was still a decent OS especially after the service packs. I will defiantly be skipping windows 8.

This has an option to skip the Metro screen. thumb.gif It works, but you still do see it for a second when you boot.
