i was using windows 8.1 preview for the last 3 days
at first it felt faster with using dx 11.2
but then it started locking up cause of driver probs
so stay away from windows 8.1 for now .

things i liked it seems that this is the windows they should have had things or easier to get to and seems to use less hard drive space

it's a preview what you're expecting from it?

Was considering the upgrade from Windows 7 - think I'll wait a while now. Thanks for the useful information. ;)

Win8 is great imo, but we're talking bout 8.1 which is a preview right now and not all drivers install flawlessly or at all...

I installed win7 on my MSI for fun, but went back to win8 in only a day...
