it works on any window, just hold windows g and it'll ask you if you really think it's a game

the only thing it doesn't like is resolution changes and it'll stop recording if that happens but like

you can also set it to only record the last 30 seconds at all times so you can stop it to get sick frag vids

my save apparently went missing but this is recording a 640x480x16 dx7 game in a window which is really surprising, i dont think fraps even likes that

how's everyone liking it so far

Well i bit the bullet last night and upgraded from Win7. It's ok. The ui is a little odd but it's incredibly responsive and seems to run smoother. It's also smaller in size than win7 which helps on my small SSD.

All in all it's ok.


Cortana is actually kinda cool.
