It's not quite as bad as playing Duke Nukem Forever, but it's not exactly Portal. The Metro interface is cool for tablets, but the integration with the traditional Windows desktop is so half-baked it verges on insulting. If it didn't have the great desktop OS underneath the weird new interface, we'd be scathing. It's just hard to get excited about such a modest step up. It's a souped-up version of Windows 7 with a weird interface slapped overtop of the regular desktop. That sounds like faint praise, and it is, but really, Windows 8 is a great operating system. Those of us who have upgraded are not displeased. If you're on 7, you don't gain much apart from DirectX11.1 (which won't be coming to earlier versions of Windows) and a slightly faster computer-but upgrading isn't a bad move.
The cheap upgrades expire January 31st, 2013. If you're coming from XP, the jump from DirectX 9 to DirectX 11 alone is worth the price. If your poor PC is still running Windows XP or Vista, do it a favor and update to a faster, more secure, more modern OS. That's the cheapest Windows upgrade ever. $40 gets you an upgrade from XP, Vista, or 7. Microsoft really wants you to do this, so they've priced 8 to move. If you're running Windows XP or Vista, though, Windows 8 is a huge step up and you should probably upgrade. But the differences between 7 and 8 aren't large enough or meaningful enough that gamers should feel compelled to plop down good money for an update. Windows 8 runs slightly faster than Windows 7 on the same hardware, it boots up faster, and there are nice tweaks to Windows Explorer, file copying, and a few other aspects of the desktop. The new interface is clearly intended for small touchscreens, not high-res monitors. It's not really necessary if you have 7, but it's super necessary if you don'tĪs a gamer, you don't need to be in a hurry to upgrade to Windows 8 if you're already running Windows 7.
