Uhhhmm...so you are using a pirated game?
I'm not certain you should use that as your example for legitimate software users.
You REALLY should tell MS about that..I hear they aren't too fond of pirates and hackers.
AS I said, half the programs aren't working...glad to hear someone is hacking and using a hacked system...not certain that's what I would say.
No, on many levels. First, I am not using a pirated game or a hacked system. Second, neither of those links were of things I did. They were examples showing other people have been successful running Diablo in Win8, so that you could see my results are confirmed by other people. Third, neither of those links showed pirated games. One (not both) shows a game mod, but that's hardly the same thing by any stretch. Fourth, even if I were using a pirated game, the point still stands that Diablo is running fine on Win8, contrary to your claim that it was impossible. And fifth, why would Microsoft care if someone was pirating software from Blizzard?
The point I have been trying to make is that (IME) the backwards compatibility in Win8 has been extremely good; possibly the best of any Windows upgrade to date. Your experience that "half (actually maybe more) of the programs that were compatible with Win7 are NOT compatible with Win8" is the exact opposite myself and others, even with some of the same programs. I would like to reiterate my offer to look at screenshots of any error messages you are getting with Diablo and help you work through the issues (some details about the Win8 install will also be needed). I truly believe, based off of my own personal experience getting programs to run, that you should be able to play many old games in Windows 8. I am focusing on Diablo simply because it is the easiest for me to test and assist you with.
I do, however, take offense at your unwarranted accusations of performing illegal acts and implying that I am lying about getting programs to work.
