Hmmm, not sure what to feel about Windows 8, I can't say I'm entirely accepting of suddenly changing my pc layout like it's been for years and years to a new interface like Windows 8/X360 Dashboard.

For me Windows 7 is kind of like Windows XP, why get rid of it when you won't need to for years?

The Metro interface is just one of the improvements you get in Windows 8 though. Something like the charms and cloud integration are also pretty big improvement, not to mention the general improvements you get to performance and security.

That's just the problem, I'm not too fond of the Metro interface... (Bring back Blades on X360!!!)

I'll still get Windows 8 down the road, I'm a early adopter on most Windows releases, I just don't get the "This is gonna be gold" feel like I did with Windows 7, but then again, that might just have been because Windows Vista was horrible.

Hopefully they'll integrate GFWL/Xbox Live better on pc this time around, the fact that I can't get achievements offline on my pc is an absolute game breaker for me with that platform, it must be do-able for them to have a update platform that when you go online with your PC or Xbox it can just update your Gamertag to save all the achievements together.

And this message just got a bit longer than I intended, sorry Rainbird.

 

PS: Microsoft, feel free to start leaking the game trailers & info now...
