Or both ?

The problem is in Windows 8 Preview... It's an alpha, and very far from finished so what works and does not work is really not that interesting? Lots of stuff don't work in it.

I can't understand why anyone would jump to Win 8. Windows xp worked rather well for me, Vista, as I understand, was an unmitigated disaster, ( I never used it) and Win 7 gets very high praises. Granted, Microsoft does always have to reinvent the wheel to earn revenue, but sometimes the "newest" is not necessarily the best.

If you do not try how do you know it works or not? stupid is it?

I have it instaled in a VM for testing and while I think it may rule the tablet world, it feels no so good for desktop machines and completely fails with more than one screen IMO. You need to move too much the mouse for simple tasks, it feels annoying. I hope they fix that big usabily problem before final release. Other than that you can like the new interface or not, I personally don´t like it very much and I think I will not use metro apps in desktop.

It's taken them a year to get the next patch ready . Imagine how long it will take for them to code a new OS.

So now it's 1C's responsibility to fix windows?

It's strange this kind of logic, sort of what people say that "when you don't like someone, everything they do annoys you no matter what".

There is no patch for COD and I only posted this news so no one has to try it also not so it is corrected by someone it is of no interest to no me to play COD on my little PC I have my first line PC for that. I wantred only to launch it and to see it work under or with this new not yet finished OS. At the end of this year Windows shall be in the shops. It is part of my job to ibnstall the OS of choise on PC's of clients thus I tried this one and also all applications I could.

Win 8 looks more like a tablet os or phone os. I think it will have 1 major change before it gets to RC so i wouldnt worry too much if you miss the start menu.
Upside is its fast as lightning, hopefully staying that way when the updates come.
