The only good thing about 8 is the fast boot. Otherwise, I much prefer 7.
I’m going to use Win7 for as long as possible.
I boot Linux, Win7 and XP depending on what I’m trying to do.
I got sick of the “updates” after that useless one before XP. Can’t even remember the name. I liked XP okay. My next computers were loaded with Vista and I’m still on them. Took forever to find all the settings again to change them.
Didn’t bother with 7 and saw 8 on a tablet...total crap. 9 won’t be any better.
