Wrong on the fact that DirectX is updated for Windows 8 to the point where it makes it superior over Windows 7. Xbox controllers are automatically synced up with Windows 8, and so much more has been changed, just for gaming, as opposed to Windows 7 that needed countless changes that an average joe wouldn't even bother to be close to doing. Less driver installing = more games getting played.For me windows 7 is the best in performance and gaming, windows 8 is faster than 7 but so bad in gaming
