    Windows XP served me well for 10 years... and Windows 7 will do the same for twice as long if that's what it takes to avoid that god-awful hipster user interface.

    I fell for windows 8's Charms a long time ago.

    Yeah I don't see why they call it Charms. It seems like a pretty stupid name if you ask me.

    The reason I'm beginning to like it is for the apps. As the father of a young daughter, I can see the usefulness of them. She already loves messing with the iPhone and iPad.

    Also, this exists. Only just discovered moments ago...

    Oh wow, you can use Mobile apps on Windows 8 now? Neat-o. It might be useful to me in the future for something.

    You can use mobile apps on pretty much any version of Windows or Mac apparently.

    Probably wouldn't be as polished as the built in Windows 8 app support, but I thought it was worth a share.

    Wrong forum, home slice. Look in the bug reports forums to see if this hasn't been addressed yet.


    However, I'm pretty sure it has. windows 8 and ZC don't get along. Either find another OS (put linux on a USB drive and do it that way) or just wait.

    I would almost agree with that statement had Megaman X4 been a SNES release.
    Windows 7 is great. Never used this elusive Windows 8. I believe it is still in betaland. I'm not gonna pay fer no stinkin' beta!
    Just Kidding. Windows 9 is the best.

    Anybody can use Windows 8 for free. Just go to the bank and play with the ATM's touch screen. :)

    Download Lands of Serenity today! You will be knocked comatose by its sheer awesomeness.
    The Titan's Quest, best played in the bathroom as the excitement can be somewhat...overwhelming.
