I have come to really like Win7 -- fast, stable, works great. I beat my user interface back into Win-2000 mode so I can find things, and it's wonderful.

Tiles? "Metro"? Yagottabekidding.

Win8's only excuse for existence is to serve the tablet/phone market, and for Microsoft's sake I hope it catches on there.

On the desktop, especially the corporate desktop, it's nothing less than a flaming disaster on rollerskates.

I dislike Windows 7...and the new Unity(linux) desktops. I lump those two together because they both have a habit of getting in your way. If your into clicking alot of stuff to find the thing you actually want to click...you’ll love it. But - I want to use my programs - not an “interface.”

I’m still running Ubuntu 11.10 - but have switched to the Cinnamon desktop - and all is good again!
