Sweet. At first I was quite sceptical of Windows 8, but after owning a windows phone and using windows 8 for myself, I am looking forward to it. There are some things that will take some time to get used to, but overall I am excited.

This. If one can get passed the (completely and utterly tired) one dimensional argument of "ZoMg no start menu", they'd realize just how good 8 really is. It's what an OS update is supposed to be in my view. Faster, leaner, prettier (personal preference; I like minimalist), and different.

That doesn't make any sense .
If you want to hack, and Win 8 is breaking that, why not to use Win 7.
That's really dumb. MP games will be compatible with Win 7 for a long time.

Way too much trouble to upgrade to Win 8 (if you want to call it that) when I just finished putting together my new build and optimized the hell out of Windows 7 to work nicely with my SSD.
