"Windows 7 has overtaken Harry Potter novels and the Nintendo Wii to become the biggest grossing pre-order product of all time in the UK, according to e-commerce giant Amazon.
In an announcement which will be music to Microsoft's ears, Amazon.co.uk declared that the new operating system sold more pre-order copies in the first eight hours of its release than Vista did in its entire pre-order period."
Windows 7 official support ended recently and inXile Entertainment are now pushing Bard's Tale IV players to install Windows 10 apparently. Considering it was originally playable in Windows 7, players are not liking the minimum system requirements change.
Building on the success of porting WoW's DX12 version to Windows 7, Microsoft has published help for other DX12 devs, which includes a runtime that supports all the features of Windows 10 October Update... including DirectX Raytracing.
That's right, DirectX 12 has come to Windows 7
Seems strange to port it to Windows 7 at the same time they started to notify customers it has reached its end of life lol
Woah, that's great actually! I can finally throw my Win 10 in the trash and go back to an OS that doesn't f*** up my games performance at each update.
I got the RTM a month ago and it's a really good operating system.
If you have Vista - I recommend you upgrade. This is much better for gaming and will increase your fps by at least 10 - 20%.
I knew vista sucked but....DAMN.
congratz to Microsoft
Of course Windows 7 broke Amazon. It'll probably break computers too.
