Far Cry 4 Message Board  

I know, right? There's sooo many good games coming out now, it makes it tough. I'm really trying to stick to my self-imposed restriction and not buy a game until it goes on sale. Tough to do right now.

Btw, I don't know if you saw my other post but I went with Win 7, partly because of your and Linesma's input and partly fearing repercussions from PWiz imploring me to Uninstall 8!

The ironic thing is I just saw where Microsoft is expected to release Windows 9 around Feb. 2015. Good grief.

Me too! I bought 4 copies of Windows 7 Ultimate during a sale a couple of years ago.. Only used 2 so far and both work great for most XP/Vista compatible games and SOME older games.

Of course having a thing for older and MUCH older games I still have and keep up my older computers running Windows 98SE and Windows 95C OSR 2.5. Yep.. Showing my age again!! LOL.

Seems like the giveaway that Windows 8 was junk didn't quite sink in for most folks. When they dropped the prices to under $100 for brand new full retail versions it was a flag that the OS was worse junk than Vista was not a sales ploy to invoke high sales to get more people onto the boat, sinking at it is.

The big problem with MS is they run so fast to keep advancing the OS for the future they keep screwing up what they are rushing out the door... If they only took their time and left the previous "WORKING" OS in their support umbrella they could make sure the next OS was fully operational before it got out into the world. In my view. XP should NEVER have been dropped from support and decommissioned. Once service pack 3 was finished the OS was almost perfect. I never had a problem with it and I still don't. And it plays most any of the newer games short of Direct X11 based games. And I am quite sure it realistically wouldn't take much to get it DX11 compatible.

But of course. "WE MUST ADVANCE! WE MUST EVOLVE! THAT IS OUR MISSION IN LIFE!" At least that is what the rumor is! LOL
