That sounds almost too perfect to work though. Blame the eternal pessimist in me that assumes it'll be an ordeal just to play a game.

You mean you're not picking a team? :O

There's... nothing too perfect about it. It's just an OS, on a console, with a console GUI.

I've heard from a lot of people that the general consensus towards Windows 8 is negative, but I've never heard anyone who actually uses Win 8 respond negatively to it.

I use Win 8, and it's basically just Windows 7 with a different Start Menu. Don't understand how one might consider it wonky or ineffective.

I use Win8 and I tolerate it only now that I tweaked it to run like Win7.

I troubleshoot people's pc's daily. Windows 8 is a piece of trout that barely supports any software properly without a great deal of fart-arsing around and frankly ain't nobody got time for that.

I still don't get it. Everything I had running on 7 runs perfectly on 8. Gimme some examples; I'm damned curious.

It's more a case of explaining to customers who have the intellect of a glass of water, come from Wales and or the North the correct process of how to get Silverlight running on their pc. Genuinely, Windows 8 is not user friendly for the unintelligent masses. Compared to the ease of using Windows XP - 7, Windows 8 is a right pain in the arse.
