Re: [MERGED] Windows 8 discussion
Well i had to remove it last night and go back to my trusty windows 7 backup.
Main problem was gaming, i play BF3 on the NTHWgaming.co.uk servers and i found that my frame rates and general play was somewhat reduced under windows 8.
Last night i had many issues during our Friday night gaming and drinking session  . In the end it was that bad that i had to remove windows 8 and reinstall my windows 7 backup. There was an immediate improvement in frame rates and general game play.
Maybe Microsoft would prefer we play games on there kiddie console and not on our pc's.

Re: [MERGED] Windows 8 discussion
Or, to be fair it might be because the maker of your graphics card haven't got final Win8 drivers?

Re: [MERGED] Windows 8 discussion
found a real strange fault with win 8 on a stand alone OS
I have Win 7 on a 120 ssd and win 8 on 60 gig ssd each their own install changed boot priority for each so each has its own system partition so totally separate.
Boot into win 8 network dies have to uninstall Nic reboot and its fine. However when I boot back into 7 it finds new hardware fails on the Nic again has to be uninstalled and rebooted and its fine. I have no idea how this is happening but it is . Love an oddity me lol

Re: [MERGED] Windows 8 discussion
Is the disc important to you? If you just upgrade via Microsoft.com (download) its only £25 vs. £50 on a disc from Amazon (and presumably elsewhere).
