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.

Layout's crap, though.

I've found out at our local MS store here in the Mall that MS is currently working on Windows 9. I was told it will will be an even more improved version of Windows 7. 8 will only be kept for Tablets and so forth. Might be a good idea to hang on to 7 like a lot of us are doing with XP. LOL

I plan on installing 7 Pro 32 bit very soon as I've found it at a great price. I'll be keeping XP also and plan on running a dual boot system. Or build a dedicated computer for 7 Pro. That's if I can persuade the kid out on the floor at CompUSA, that's been helping me with some tech questions, into selling me the I7 4.5GH CPU he has.

Hi Everyone,

Wanted to say I am running windows 8 and have SH3,4 and 5 running just fine.

There are many complaints about the UI, but if you just use the desktop app, the UI is the familiar Windows 7 interface, minus the start orb. Performance is much better than Windows 7.

My primary machine is a MacPro running Windows 8 in bootcamp.

My secondary machine is a Samsung i5 windows 7 tablet I've upgraded to windows 8 and I play SH3 just fine.
