Well, that's a perfectly valid question. Im not even sure Ill be staying with Win 8 at this point, but looking forward, there will be a lot more win8 machines running 6 months from now since PC manufactures will be shipping with w8 preinstalled. Therefore, there will gradually be more W8 users down the road and a developer would want their software to run on as many os's as possible.
A few of us have bitten the bullet early to give win 8 a fair shake. (myself included) Kind of like taking one for the team, so to speak. I had a bad virus a month ago on my W7 PC and thought Id give Win 8 a try since I was looking at re formatting my drive anyway.
I have about 8 games /sims installed in W8 and DCS world was the only one giving me issues. Im told early builds were OK with DCS world, but I only installed it a month ago. So something probably broke with one of the more recent builds.
W8 does offer some advantages over W7. It boots up faster (not a biggie) has more security features and is equally stable as w7. The metro interface was something I hated:mad: and I don't like not having a start button,:cry: so I bought Start 8 from Stardock ($4.99) to add back the W7 start button and by pass the new Gui and just boot to the desktop. Now its like having all the advantages of W8 with none of the drawbacks. (except that DCS world crashes!) :doh: But im hoping that will be fixed. If not, Ill go back to W7 since I don't want to give up on DCS stuff.
