I determined that if I was going to break compatibility and wanted an uptodate OS, I'd just look into other OSes entirely. I hate Apples from hardware point-of-view, most others (Sun, FreeBSD, ...) are "not for me", and the Ubuntu OS (Linux) is at least as easy to setup as Windows, so the choice wasn't really that hard.<br />Joe Whiteheadnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7150748600895135243.post-43962973922525479632012-11-18T09:20:52.592-04:002012-11-18T09:20:52.592-04:00No Linux gamer love?

Its friggen $40 on Microsoft's site to upgrade, and will be that way until January. Anyways, I'm already on Windows 8, and everything I've used that worked for Windows 7 and Vista works for Windows 8 flawlessly o-o; Windows XP programs are a bit iffy.<br /><br />Besides this so called 'new interface' (its called 'Metro', people), it improves over everything that was in Windows 7. Needless to say, worth the upgrade and more. x3<br /><br />Still, I wonder if Microsoft plans to backport the native support for 8-core processors.
