Whether or not Halo 4 would work on windows 8 doesn't really mater. I just hope windows 8 doesn't suck or lack in features as it seems every 2nd windows OS has seemed to do, especially vista.
Well, for the most part, Windows 8 is the same as Windows 7 with the exception of Metro and the new Start Screen. But I have been using each preview release of Windows 8 for awhile now and I do believe that Windows 8 may be the most stable and compatible version of Windows yet. Compatible as in its driver architecture is much more universal to the point where I can plug in a new printer and it just works instantly. In Windows 7, I'd be forced to use the installation disc that came with the printer. I see that as a huge plus for Windows 8. Plus, so far, most games and software I've tested are still perfectly compatible with Windows 8 (including Halo 1 & 2).
That being said, if you already have Windows 7 and are satisfied with it with no complaints at all, then upgrading to Windows 8 won't be totally necessary for you. But if you're still on XP or older, maybe it's time to upgrade. I admit though that I still spend a lot of time on my Windows 2000 netbook (took forever to find the drivers). But anyways, the biggest benefit of Windows 8 I see is that it hopefully eliminates the need to have to install 3rd party drivers for devices.
