ShackNews reports id Software's John Carmack stated at QuakeCon 2012 that he's not looking forward to Windows 8 because he's quite content with Windows 7.

Speaking at QuakeCon 2012, Carmack told the audience during his keynote that there is nothing exciting about Windows 8. "Windows XP did everything we needed for quite awhile," he said, "Hardly anyone at id used Vista." When Windows 7 came out, Carmack added, it was a bit more attractive because it did some things better and faster, so there is no reason for him to consider switching to Windows 8.
