MIXVIBES Dj Community old forum

I've just been reading about the next release of Windows, version 8, and it's going to be released for an incredibly low price!

The rumours are saying that it will be $40 for the upgrade to Windows 8 Pro, and $70 for the full version with discs. This seems like a bargain, and I imagine that there will be a few of us that will want to use it.

My concern though, is compatibility - will Cross, and the other programs work on Windows 8?

I've checked the Microsoft Compatibility Checker and there is no mention of any Mixvibes products on the site. I've checked my hardware and all seems to be okay, but again, no mention of Mixvibes hardware, for those that use it.

With the release coming up quite soon, it might be a good idea for someone with more technical know-how than me, to see if there would be any problems.

Here's the link to the site if anyone is interested:

heard word of even a free ver of windows 8 heck i havent went to 7 yet,,i,ll catch up in my next overhaul of computer is foward thinking as to compatiability issues

I have to say that Windows 7 is about the best so far, but from what I've heard, Windows 8 is going to be even better!

I won't upgrade if there's going to be compatibility issues though.

I've read that Microsoft are going to be focussing a lot of attention on the multimedia capabilities of the new release, so it's possible that our programs will run even better than before...

some where on the fourm was a set of pic with mixvibes developers at a microsoft function ,,seen also a posting about someone having w8 and some issues ,, i hope M V is foward thinking to catch the wave ,,,looked on the compatibility page you posted and in music /other there were some DJ software ver ,listed ,, time will tell especialy if the word is wanted to be kept quiet till its ready,

i so far hate windows 8 there no start button and that bugs the crap out of me but then again i was using the beta

Rumours have it you can get Win8 as an upgrade from Win7 for 15€ (~10GBP). Asking me you should stay with Win7 because I fear that Win8 will be comparable to Vista - unfortunately just a release into the right direction with a huge OS to follow. Just my 2 pennies

Cross ok on the demo version.

It not a rumour anymore. Buying a new PC/laptop you are getting a voucher/coupon with 15 euro (14,99) to buy windows 8.

I missed out - I bought my laptop back in March...

All is not bad though, the upgrade only costs about £25.00 so that won't cost more than a night out!

Any more news on that? Uncle? sylMV? djegun?

Is it true that multimedia in general is way better in Win8? If so, why and how?! Thanks!
