Whitetragedy Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 Anyone know if arrival and usage of Windows 8 will affect Visual Novels? As in whether or not there will be trouble in running old Visual Novels on the new operating system? Quote
OneManArmy Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 Who wants to use windows 8 just after its release anyway? As for your question, no idea but probably yes. Quote

As in whether or not there will be trouble in running old Visual Novels on the new operating system? lolz..its obvious..though waiting for a service pack should be able to use any old VN/game but so far win7 have been great and i have no intention to have win8 even its free~ Quote
OneManArmy Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 Who wants to use windows 8 just after its release anyway? As for your question, no idea but probably yes. I just read that most programs which works under windows 7 will also work under windows 8. But anyway, is there really a reason for using windows 8? I mean what are the new features? (Too lazy to google the answer) Quote
Avenger Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 Well, windows 8 changed drastically from developer's release to release candidate, so nobody knows for sure - though the general consensus is that the developer release is better than the release candidate. As to running old programs, I haven't heard anything about it. Windows 8 will probably be able to play anything Windows 7 can. (I'm hoping for some better back-compatibility myself, but I know how unlikely that is ) Quote

Dubs Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 Actually it depends on whether or not win8 includes the same features as win7, If it does then you should be able to run it in compatibility mode ( Never used it that often so I don't even know if it works ), I suppose you should give it at least a month to be able to get a full answer on whether or not win8 will effect VN's unless you try it yourself and find out, I'll stick to my win7 though.

desi Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 Almost all programs that run under Windows 7 should work under Windows 8. I don't see the need to upgrade at this point though. It's not like Windows 7 is going to die out when Windows 8 comes out. I'm sticking with Windows 7 for the next few years though... no plans to upgrade anytime soon. Quote
ret Posted June 26, 2012 Posted June 26, 2012 (edited) Windows 8 will have two modes that will differ greatly: Metro (aka shit) mode, and regular desktop mode. Regular desktop programs work exactly like in old Windows, albeit with a "flatter" Aero style. Metro apps, on the other hand, are pretty much oversized cell phone apps. One can switch modes by hitting a key or touching some button, can't remember.. Just think of Metro as a full-screen size window where you run metro apps, like when using a virtual machine. VNs and main productive software will most likely keep the classic "desktop" interface. I don't think 8 is going to be popular with desktop computer users. That MS Surface might be a bit more comfortable, though. Edited June 26, 2012 by ret Quote
Caelistas Posted June 26, 2012 Posted June 26, 2012 I have no intention to upgrade to windows 8 anytime soon, windows 7 is a solid OS, just like XP service pack 3 and i have my doubts wether windows 8 will bring something new to the table. Windows 7 will receive official support (either for software/games) until 2016 at least so no need to upgrade just yet. Quote
ret Posted June 26, 2012 Posted June 26, 2012 ^ Pretty much this. Hell, I know some still prefer to use XP. I use XP, but in a virtual machine though. Also, anyone who watched Idiocracy: I don't think I like where this is going. Quote
OneManArmy Posted June 26, 2012 Posted June 26, 2012 Well I'm not the right person to say this but let's stop. I know that most of you don't see the sense in using windows 8 but this won't answer the question of the thread author. Quote
Whitetragedy Posted June 27, 2012 Author Posted June 27, 2012 This is what I got from the replies. Windows 8 is disappointing so Window 7 will still be widely used in the next few years. Guess I won't have to worry about being unable to play VNs. Quote
Avenger Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 Bitch please. How can people think technology is advancing? Quote
ultimecea Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 Bitch please. How can people think technology is advancing? lolz..Ave.. MSDOS are the most important part in every Win..youi cant debug or recover something without it~~ Quote
OneManArmy Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 Windows 8 is perfect......for tablets. Since when do medications use a operating system? Did I live under a rock the last years or what's going on?! Quote
Nightdragon Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 i wish the impact of windows 8 is that everyone tells billgates to F--- himself about making so we lose more control over the computer every patch... If I didn't want any control over my computer I would have gone with a Mac Quote
Dan. Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 They release new OSes too quickly. They just add a few new features and re-skin it then sell it and make tons of money. Who needs Windows 8? or & or Vista? Windows XP is where it's at. Quote
Wolverine Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 haha i can get win8 for free i got win7 right now Quote
