    Default Windows 8 focus for gaming? o_o

    Design sketches for Windows 8 have been discovered, suggesting that the new OS may carry a renewed focus on gaming.
    Some more here.

    Any thoughts? I think they're just jumping to conclusions but meh, you never know.

    Well, companies and shit use Macs, so I wouldn't be surprised.

    I mean, go to a hospital, dentist, whatever, and you will see they use macs, most games, actually, almost every game is designed for Windows.

    I don't see any macs in places of work. No commercial stores, not the dentist, and most certainly not the hospital. Mac's are expensive and don't do anything that a PC can't do as well.

    then get windows 7. The only problem it has with games is when the gamegaurd isn't updated.

    Maybe where you live, but I've never seen a mac in any of those places here in Canada.

    Microsoft are really loosing out on a huge gaming auidence, so when Kinect fails (which it will) hopefully they will focus on the hardcore auidence for the PC and Xbox.

    I reckon the Xbox 720 or (the one after) will have Windows 8 (or 9) installed.

    Because Sony always goes advertises with the PS3 is more than a games console it's a computer.
    But then Microsoft can just turn around with 'does it have windows installed?'.
    Thought not! With **** being the next logical step.
