[QUOTE="GreyLord, post: 6094862, member: 4348"] I mentioned that...but if you have the original games you can't play them...it's downloading the client... 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. Regardless, despite what some people are hyping...I've been using windows since 3.1 and at this point I'm considering that if they make the companies upgrade...being one MORE of the HORDES of people that have been migrating to Apple. MS at this point is their own worst enemy. They made some bad mistakes with Vista...and they've continued with Win8. I will argue in support of some of the things, but destroying backwards compatibility wins them no favors in this regard and only speeds up the numbers migrating to other systems, ways of working it, and ways of doing things. I don't have a problem with Metro...it's with their compatibility. We'll see what SP1 and 2 do, but when it's time to migrate at this time the company probably isn't going to be doing any contracts with MS this time around, and from what I hear on the business front I'm not the only one despite what some MS gung ho's are saying. It could be the MS curse though, every odd OS stinks...and then they repair it. Vista also had some massive compatibility problems which they fixed up with Win7, along with boot times and other problems. IF the repair some damage with their next OS it may be able to migrate to it, but currently, though I actually like their Metro setup.....Win8 is a nogo for compatibility. It doesn't matter if YOU can do it, it matters if our tech guys can do it for our systems, if they can't...it's a no go for us. [/QUOTE]
