.. and how exactly did you test that, you smug bastard? The alpha ended early August and beta isn't until the 29th .

I used to work in the Industry and have friends at DICE. Let's just say the Pre beta Rocks Would love to post some screenies but my NDA prohibits it. 'Mr Smug Bastard'

Oh come on, fellow alpha testers can share content Agreed - this NDA sucks.

The 29 is not a set in stone date for Battlefield 3, EA is still holding rights to delay the release of the beta.

I can confirm that:

Origin - EAs digital download system
Need for Speed Hot Pursuit

both work in 8. Also that xfire runs and woks with NFS:HP. I will be testing the Origin versions of:

Alice Madness Returns
C&C 4 Tiberiun Twilight

as soon as they download and install. Should know in the next few days if they run or if they need any tweaking.

PS I know these are as much of a game as Photoshop, but Yahoo, AIM Pro, Google Talk and Skype all work with out issues.

AIM installs and runs, but wont connect to the internet. The test of the connection works fine, but it acts like the server is just gone.

29th is now set in stone

I can confirm that Starcraft 2 also works in windows 8. I must say Call of Duty Black Ops MY FPS Rate went up by 11 when switching from 7 to 8!!!
