Just started using Win 7 and find it just fine. Similar enough to XP to be not the disgusting jolt that the wife's Win 8 machine is.

Different, yes, but no problem. Do not ever see using 8, with any luck 9 or whatever will be workable way down the road.

Likewise. I'll stick with Vista and Win7. My wife got a laptop with Win8 and it is really cumbersome and awkward at functioning on different windows or finding history of sites and files.
