Any1 running PSO2 on Windows 8?

I heard Microsoft was going to try to go the xbox route with windows 8 and package every game you could play on PC for a MSpoint equivalent.

Good thing they didn't take the pants on head retarded approach.

Oh, they're still trying to get that all integrated in the new Metro start screen, but you can still run most of your old apps via the old desktop.

I can't remember the last time I opened the metro interface.

it must be better performance. I know I was told i could probably only run the game smoothly at the lowest settings with this computer but I run it perfectly fine at 4.

Personally I like the Metro interface even though I try to avoid it, but thats because I like trying out completely new things when it comes to technology.

I think Windows 8 looks like shit. I'm not into that goofy-looking "tablet" setup. I'm hoping they do a sort of 'upgrade/remodel' akin to the Vista -> 7 thing before I invest in it.

the "tablet" setup is only the new version of the START bar. You can download something that installs the start bar so you never need to bring up that screen ever. It basically feels like 7 with a couple small new additions here and there unless I bring up the START bar. (which like I said I can get rid of whenever I choose to)

That doesn't bode well...

I'm not against consumers having the choice but I hope the XBOX LIVE crowd doesn't turn PC gaming into a live membership. If things get that bad I'll have to jump ship to linnux or unbuto. I don't even know how to install an alternate operating system but I'm pretty sure its better than having to go through the "live" way of gaming.

Linux and Ubuntu are the exact same thing. Linux is the broad term for any OS that runs on the Linux Kernel. Ubuntu runs on the Linux Kernel, therefore it is a Linux OS.
