What average people on the street think: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cor-lvXsgx0 I will make two notes here: Stardock will be selling a program to restore the taskbar. EverQuest II does run under Windows 8 but it has to be installed, not copied, in order to show up on the new interface.
ether someone will figure out how to run it under compatiblity mode or soe will take a look at windows 8 and patch the client in some fashon that sees if the os is win8 and then adjusts how it interfaces with the os.
