Windows 8.1

[DRG]

Anyone who "hates" the windows 8 start screen doesn't have to use it with 8.1 but even with win 8 the start screen issue could be dealt with simply by pressing the windows key. I expected to not like win8 because I read all the wailing and whining about how it looked but even with the minor "annoyance" of having to press one key to get to desktop I wouldn't go back to XP after having used win8 now for a month.

The question would be does "classic shell" address the problems the game ( and the development programs we use ) had with win7 ( since this is the games forum )........ unlikely as it's just window dressing. ( pun intended...)

My newly arrived laptop has windows 8 and so far it runs WINSPMBT great. I saved the Shrapnel Games folder on a thumbdrive as my win 7 machine was dying, and just copied it over onto the win 8 machine six long months later. So far there are no problems. It seems to run a little faster even though I went from an I7 chip to an I5.
