I think that's not from the main subject. saying ' why would you balbla ' and as always, Instead of replying with the same solution, comes up with a new idea to use another shitty thingy. To the guy who's saying I have windows 8.1, can you post a small video proofs that you're opening sro on 8.1 without a problem?
Forgot to mention: Newer version = better. that fail theory which's controls everyone's mind is so idiotic. I do not feel the sense of being loving the old version of any sort believing that it's better than the newer. They do not update versions for no reason.

Anyway, like Nezekan said, they didn't change anything to the NT kernel or DirectX runtime. If it works on Windows 8, it will therefore also work on Windows 8.1 unless you did something wrong.

*same as jumaluta's post when he posted that shitty thingy about his crack would be capable to run on windows 8 from add features to windows. and then, when I posted the screen you went wrong *

You guys are posting smth you don't even know about. have you tested it? or just reading the changelog from any other fail forum would be perfectly helpful to get noticed about the new shits? and no, it does not take space from HDD; even I don't care if it does or not. I got 2TB HDD.

Anyways, seems like no one knows what he's talking about. request to close.

No. there's still windows updates each month are available for windows xp. It's on iptorrent. and they noticed that SP"x" will be updated for each windows version like that.

Windows 2000 sp4 -> 5
Windows xp sp3 -> 4
Windows vista *They said there'd be no update for vista version after windows 7 being released*
Windows 7 sp1 -> 2
Windows 8 -> sp1

I've been using it for more than a year (using the RTM leak) and I've never had any problems with using the GUI. What's wrong with it as long as you don't use Modern UI apps?

I haven't used it, but I've read the changes on Wikipedia. By the way, do you seriously think Microsoft would make any breaking changes at this point? Windows 8 wasn't received very well by desktop users. Do you think that they would make it worse by breaking compatibility? They have enough experience with this to ensure your old stuff keeps working in one way or another.

Wow... so much bullshit in this thread...

Ofc is winxp still updated and will be updated, but support(also updates) will stop summer 2014.

To the win8 thingy... it is CLEARLY better than Win7. If you doesnt like the new GUI (which also CLEARLY got better in 8.1), make custom changes. (Classic Shell etc.)

Silkroad not running on Win 8? No problem.

[Nezekan]

Figuring windows xp can't run any decent modern game anymore (directx 9) it's quite useless for gamers.

Either way, I've been using windows 8 for a couple of months now and I wouldn't want to change back, I can't even remember the last time I've used the metro UI. Install classic shell and it will just be a better version of windows 7
