Hi all So for those that made the switch either via straight upgrade, new PC, or whichever other way, who is happy as a pig in errr uhhh mud, and who wish they’d rather stuck with Win7? Any pitfalls or weirdness to look out for in Win8 or possible “hacks” to make Max, VRay and our other software b…

I am on W8 on 6 machines. the Wacom issues are major, major pains in the ass. DR was a bit tricky to setup. I ended up running the nodes with the built-in Admin account and run the spawner with admin permission activated all the time too. It took a bit to get rolling but has been fine since. b

W8 is the worst thing I ever installed on my home work machine. Awful Awful Awful. It it wasn’t such a pain, I’d reinstall with W7.

I am on windows7 and it is great (compared to Vista.) One of my architectural firm clients went to win8 and says he regrets it, but we did not really go beyond that in the discussion.

Yes thats why I’m wondering if there’s any point of loading it on a workstation pc

well, like anything, you don’t want to be left behind.

I live by the old saying: “never change a running system” - if you dont have any major advantages using win8 instead of win7 then there is no reason to switch the system. since everything runs smooth under win7 i dont see any reason for me to upgrade wo win8.

But in my case its for a new PC
