Finally, someone talking sense! I am horribly ashamed at the attitude of the vast majority of gaming community. So many people have jumped onto Windows 8 and bullied it to within an inch of its life, most of them having not even used it. I've seen a slew of complete rubbish and terrible rumours that are spreading about "Windows 8 lock down" and how metro will kill gaming. They're just petty lies made to turn others away from upgrading.
I will certainly be upgrading to Windows 8 when it's released. I've been running Release Preview for a long time and I LOVE IT. There's nothing wrong with it at all. Metro and the app store pose no threat to gaming. Windows 8 is clean and fresh, boots incredibly fast and does away with the slow and sluggish ways of Windows 7.
Open the curtains and look outside. Whilst you're at it, GROW UP!
Rant over.
