Gamer poll to Windows 8 launch: "Not quite yet"
October 24th, 2012
Last week, I asked you handsome devils if you planned to buy Windows 8 at launch tomorrow. Your consensus answer: A definitive "no."
With nearly 600 precincts reporting (and by precincts I really mean number of respondents), 59% have already decided not to buy the mouse + touch operating system. Nearly a third are waiting to see what it can do when it's fully revealed tomorrow. And 12% plan to dish out two Andrew Jacksons immediately for the privilege of downloading.
As for me, I always take the wait and see approach with major software roll outs. First off all, I like to judge the entire release on its own merits, not on what the company is claiming the software can do. And secondly, I like to give developers a little "live" time to iron out any launch wrinkles.
What do you think of the poll results? Surprised? Agreed? Let's hear it, people.

It's going to start off slow but once they update and do wide range fixes it will only get better.

I'll reply for Kinglonewolf here (although I'm sure he'll give you a reply himself too), when I was running the Release Preview, all of my games ran great, some even running better under Windows 8 than they did under Windows 7!

But i can get a free legit version of it from MSDNAA to try out it.
Hope it gonna work smooth and yeah... hope its gonna be customizable coz ... i'm tired of watching the menu on wp7.5 so if i'm gonna have the win8 i will insta turn it off (if that would be possible).
Nuclear launch detected!

Of the games I play I did with League of Legends for a bit. But after contacting a friend who works with riot and working with them it got solved. But everything has been running smoothly. Including new releases like BL2 and Xcom.
Ohh Xcom also had a issue but they did give a test patch I was working on to solve issues there as well
my time has come.
