Welcome to Windows 8

[MikeK]

Windows 8 is a horrible piece of shit.

Based on what I've seen and heard thus far I would call that a succinct but comprehensive review.

Yes, but you're stupid as a stump.

I'm just saying.

What a brilliant review. You must use a mac...

LOL, you are one hell of a dumbass.


PC Gaming enthusiasts HATE Windows 8 because of how shitty it is and it's like using a mac.

You can only use applications and programs that are bough off the windows store on windows 8. Want to use your own program? Windows 8 won't run it.


Gaben Newell hates it and publicly condemned it, same with another PC Gaming platform owner/dev



My Rig

It's a modded Dell Insperon 660 desktop.

Where the fuck do you come up with this idiocy?

I was running Torchlight II on it just fine, last night.

Gabe Newell?

{For Newell, technology shifts aren't just about video games but, "about thinking about goods and services in a digital world." As Apple paves the way for closed-platform hardware and software development, Newell sees other companies, namely Microsoft, picking up on this trend. Tightening development restrictions could mean either hard times for PC game designers or a shift away from the PC altogether. According to Newell, “We are looking at the platform and saying, ‘[Valve and Steam have] been a free rider, and we’ve been able to benefit from everything that went into PCs and the Internet, and we have to continue to figure out how there will be open platforms.'”}

Gabe Newell: "Windows 8 Is Kind of a Catastrophe" - IGN

Newell rightly points to the attempt by Microsoft to push the XBoxLive bullshit. He's right, it's a catastrophe for the PC world, if it succeeds. But it's doubtful that it will. Steam dominates and will continue to dominate. Steam runs just fine on Windows 8.
