I don't see any real need to use Win8 on my home system right now, but thats just me.
What I am interested in however is what the simluation developers of today are deciding to do over the next few years. Because I think we're in a similar time when MS-DOS was the choice for gaming and then Windows 95 was released. As we all know MS-DOS died off in a few years.
If critcal mass is reached i.e. enough users flocking the new WinRT/8 UI, developers will be forced to sell thier games through the Windows App Store. This will spell the end for the likes of STEAM because under their App Store policies, an application is not allowed to install an executable, which is basically what STEAM does. This is why STEAM is moving to Linux and they're devloping their own Linux based gaming console.
Is it possible that Linux will become the OS of choice for flight sims?
