I understand that Windows 8 will launch in late October?
How is that going to affect current plugins and DAW's?
Will it be an easy transition from Win 7 to 8 ?
What's gonna happen to our plugins when Windows 8 launches?

I've tested Camel Audio plugins using a Windows 8 preview release. Ignoring the "Metro" interface and using the regular desktop - no difference as far as I can tell.
There may be subtle changes that I did not find, but Cubase + Savihost seemed to run like normal.
Peace,
Andy.

Yeah, I would stick with Win 7 for now. No point pushing the envelope if it breaks your workflow!rob_lee wrote:Why go to windows 8 if all is working on XP or W7?

I've got a couple of computers, and would like to stick with XP as long as possible.
There is a couple of plugs that have not made the journey over from XP to Win 7, like Arturia's Storm.
Psycle have moved to Win 7, but I haven't got that to work well, so I'm still sticking to that on XP.

I stick with mac. But I guess windows8 will become the choice for musicans in the future. In windows you get 80% more instruments and software than in osx, and with higher performance and freedom. Besides, windows tablet will run windows8, not a phone os like ipads and androids.ZenPunkHippy wrote:Yeah, I would stick with Win 7 for now.

No seriously, tell me who's daft enough to transit a working system to a new OS just because a new OS comes out. So we can all slap the daft out of them.
