The other day, I heard someone saying that VC/SA/IV:MP screenshots couldn't be saved using it, is that a fact?
That is not correct by any means.

I have a friend that will fix it for free to me, but is it worth it? :poke:

Windows 8 seems definitely worth it to me. It's faster, simpler, more secure, and ironically has had the need for very few updates lately because of it's awesome stability.

If you use Avast!, however, there is a known issue with a temporary patch available while they are working on the next program update to resolve a couple bizarre issues. If you or anyone here uses it and you run into that issue, let me know and I'll link you up to the patching info. It doesn't affect all systems, so only those few having the BSOD issue on Windows 8 will need it.

Other than that, I've been running Windows 8 Pro With Media Center Pack on an upgraded PoS laptop, and on a clean install on my awesome gaming comp...and both work better than before. :)

Just to note too, if you get Windows 8 Pro and request a key for Media Center Pack from Microsoft's website before January, you can get the Media Center Pack add-on for free. Otherwise it's $39.99 USD IIRC. If you try to obtain it anywhere else, or after the offer ends, then you must pay for it.

I'm anti Windows, so...

I hated Vista, I hated 7 less.. Won't think 8 will do much better.

I've got Vista to right now, I love it on this computer but on my other one.. Different story.. As long you got +3 GB Ram, it's fine.

Less ? Ur screwed. But I never liked Windows because I grew up with a Mac (my dad prefered Macs).

My first experience with Vista was on a horrible Pentium 4 Dell without HT Technology, and 512MB of RAM :lol:
