If you're just using DisplayFusion on home computers, then the Personal Home license is usually the best choice.

As for Windows 8/8.1, there are some improvements to Windows Explorer and whatnot, but as far as DisplayFusion goes, it will operate the same on Windows 8/8.1 as it does on Windows 7

I run Windows 8.1 here, as I need to be on the bleeding edge to make sure our stuff works, but maybe some other folks here can weigh in on whether they think the upgrade is worth it.

Please let me know if you have any other questions at all! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/questions-about-steam-and-windows-8/?ID=0b3a6bf2-ff6e-4f2e-9589-02db7b2ab04b Fri, 21 Feb 2014 16:19:35 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/questions-about-steam-and-windows-8/?ID=0b3a6bf2-ff6e-4f2e-9589-02db7b2ab04b DisplayFusion Is the support for Windows 8 improved enough to justify the upgrade? I love Windows 7 and DF works great with it on a triple monitor setup. I am curious if there would be any benefit to upgrading to 8 (faster or newer features that are useful?) and if DF works better on that.

Also, is there any benefit to using the Steam version of the license? Or is it strictly for convenience? ]]>
