Currently, Windows 8 is not game friendly system..

Pretty much 'bug-ware' until SP1.

Isn't that a fact. I wouldn't dream of installing a new Windows roll-out before SP1. Windows ME & Vista are perfect examples.

Edit: As a matter of fact not installing Windows ME or Vista was the right move.

Hi Seqwin. I started with win 8 Pre release back in June. The product appears so far to be quite stable.

I have been playing SH3, 4, 5 on two different computer with win 8. I had to use window compatibility mode XP service pack 3 to get SH3 to work. To get SH4 and 5 to work I had to re install the games( I am using Win 8 64 bit upgrade from win 7 64 bit) I was able to use my save campaigns and they worked. I an also using different super mod with both computer and had no problem with the games yet.

Windows 7 is the most stable, workable windows ever, if you need it faster upgrade PC bits (mobo/CPU/ram/ssd).

Done further testing at work and still don't like 8, although we are due to get a nice shiny touchscreen monitor to test so my opinion may change then, but only for touchscreen devices.

IMO the best bit about the retail version of 8 is the retro licence for 7.
