Answer #11
Depends are you looking for the best performance or for a known interface XD
windows 8 = perfect for slower pc’s ! Also it starts really fast everything is really fast to be fair XD
Only the interface is *weird* for us !
Answer #12
windows 8 is crap, they just took windows 7 and then put on some weird menu thing that is completely useless and only useful to you if you are a noob and don’t know how to find stuff in the start menu.
Answer #13
If the press releases from Cnet and ZDnet are true, Windows 8 pc’s will be released with a UEFI lock so that “unsigned” windows apps or other Oses (like linux or OS2 etc.) will not load. Sounds like a bad idea to me, but like any newly released version of Windows, it’ll take a few months (or years) before it’s stable enough to become truly useable.
Stick with Windows 7, and update all of your drivers.
