Hm, interesting. MS really wants people to use their new OS.

I thought i would try this on my second pc ,Thank f--- i did .
it crashes all the time ,wont let me install my wireless internet connection i get a big crash
and a nightmare trying to find stuff. may be i put truespace on it and see what happens
if it stays up and running

OK i got the internet working with a cable direct into my wireless router,
truespace 761 beta 8 works just fine no probs with the le every thing is
good so far. ts will live along time

Cool.
I wonder then if I could install XP on a new PC (once I acquire the hardware and build it), then upgrade to 8, bypassing 7.
What about other 3d applications, such as blender, modo, etc.? Do they work on 8? Anyone tested them?

Hi froo, i have win8 licence till jan31 2013 ,iv just installed blender and it works
modo i cant test i dont have the licence for 2 pcs

I'm curious Pugman, does trueSpace 7.61 beta 8 LE work without applying the LE hot fix?

yes steinie no fix needed ,i installed ts on my second pc for the first time
opened it and it ran sweet as a nut, blender also, have not tryed any other software yet
but i will in time. the pc is not the best thats why i thought i would try win 8 on it,
before was win xp home, Cheers Ralph

Hm I wonder if I can do this with the new system I build:

1. Install the 'beta' version of Windows 8
2. When Windows 8 goes 'on sale' to retailers and online, call Microsoft and request to upgrade for $50 since I have Windows XP
3. Install the 'gold' version of Windows 8

Would that work, or do I need to have Windows XP installed first, before running steps 1-3?

Dunno, call and find out.

But they said it was an upgrade, so I would think you would have to have a current licensed copy of WinXP.

I too wonder how to get this promo.. But I think I've never ever had an "original" Windows.......

Ok thanks James.
Well, I have 2 genuine copies of XP; just not on 'working' computers anymore!

When you upgrade form XP to windows 7 you have to reinstall all of yours programs. Upgrade from Vista was easy.

Wow. 40 dollars.
