    Windows 7. Maybe 8 too.

    I got a feeling you were one of the people who preferred Vista to XP, because it had much better performance and you could customize the looks to be exactly the same, if you didn't like the new layout.

    No, Vista was absolute crap, it was like Windows 2000, a crash waiting to happen. I am a very tech savy person, I just get annoyed by people saying they hate Windows 8 and don't have a clue about it, how can you hate something you know nothing about?

    I got your answer in one word: religion.

    its great that they have already stated it will be cross platform Win/osX/Linux from the start (SDL c++ codebase makes it erm easier in the longrun) cause it means i can play it EVERYWHERE :D

    Windows 7. I dislike the way Win 8 is so focused on touchscreen monitors and from what I've seen there are many games that aren't supported on Mac and Linux.

    That's a hell of a flea-market pickup you got there.

    a) I have used it. Please don't make assumptions. And I have also looked into it. I used a laptop that had it. I asked friends and family THEIR opinions on it. I found one person whose opinion was FOR 8, and not against it.
    In fact, several emphatically suggested that I not use it.
    b) To be honest, I've never used 7 and thought "Gee, this lag is really holding me back." It's just not a concern for me.
    c) I JUST made a new 7 partition for my new drive. So by the time that I need to do it again, it'll probably be the next OS, (or Linux will be more compatible with stuff. I can dream...)

    So spending cash on an "upgrade" that I don't need, and won't for the foreseeable future is pointless, given that it doesn't give me anything that 7 doesn't, that I want.

    I asked if you had used it and if you had for how long and you ignored the question entirely which generally means you hadn't, and considering you said it was a tile based operating system which isn't true at all, also contributed to the assumption of you never having used it. And I am willing to guess that if you bought a laptop that came with Windows 8 on it that it only had the minimum requirements to operate Windows 8 which would be why it lagged.

    And as for the people that told you to not get a Win 8 system, I'd be willing to bet they know nothing of it either.


    What? Religion has nothing to do with this conversation or topic even.

    Though I don't really like the idea of playing on my 11" MBA but at the same time I don't have any other computer...
    I wish I had a big 3 x 27" monitor setup to play Starbound on :(

    Good ol' XP. It's never failed me (Except Planetary annihilation) and certainly has none of the spyware that comes pre-installed on newer Microsoft systems.

    I will be playing on Windows, because I feel that right now it is best for gaming. However, Linux has been showing potential to be a good OS for gaming, as others have said before. I hope that there are more OS's in the future that compete with Windows for gaming, but, until then, I will be using Windows.

    I can only imagine: "And here we are with Valve's Gabe Newell XIV at E3 2165 where they have just announced that Steam OS will be released on the 13th of August, 2236..."
