Microsoft pulls fast one at E3 using NVidia graphics cards.

Not quite sure why people are hating on MS here. The developers tweeted that these systems they were running their demo on had no Microsoft involvement. It was their choice.

Also Win 8 > Win 7, but I'm sure people say otherwise because jumping on the bandwagon is cool...

+1 Very happy with Windows 8 after upgrading from Windows 7. Saying that though i do use start8 and disabled all that metro crap. Once windows 8.1 arrives that will be a thing of the past though.

What difference is 8.1 actually making to Metro? From what I understand, it won't be changing much.

I just run Metro, I don't mind it *that much*. On my Tablet/Laptop, as they're touch based, I quite like it.

Well i think the main thing is it brings back the start menu. Metro still runs on mine, but using start8 you can tweak it so its out of sight out of mind.

If anything, 8.1 will improve the Start screen by making it more customizable. But I guess what people care about is that start button which does what clicking in the bottom left hand corner does anyway... or being able too bypass the screen completely on start up.

Thank goodness for marketplace competition

XB1 sales versus the PS4 must have really shown them the error of their ways!

Take in to account it has to render windows as well.

people are forgetting the new consoles are not like the old ones.

consoles these days run their own OS whilst it may be a lot smaller and more efficient than windows it's not like it was in the good old days of boot loaders.
these days consoles are running all kinds of social stuff in the background and this is the reason one of the consoles if not both have already said 2 of the cpu cores are reserved for the os.

I think the ps4 even has twitch streaming capability built in?
