    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.

    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 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.

    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.

    Macs are like unicorns.
    I had to use a mac for 2 years at my JVS I went to for graphic design. It was so upsetting. I felt like less of a man because of it.

    People who go for macs are either, working people who want some long battery life, or stupid people, who think mac is good because it looks good.

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

    Or people who think they will get a long battery life, but than get laughed at by jobs because "everyone could clearly see that was a lie" so there is of course no liability by apple to try to really fulfill these promises.

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