windows 7 or 8/8.1

I don't know a lot but I use Windows 7.  I believe Windows 8 is a little worse that Vista, and Vista was like wrestling a drunk octopus.

I have windows 8.1 and its perfectly good aslong as you have it setup to boot directly to deksptop and disable the active corners

all i know is that everyone hates windows 8 and the users choose the option to show 8  as windows 7 interface.

I might be wrong.

this old chestnut. ive had laptops with windows 7 and windows 8 (then 8.1). i recently spent 600 quid building a new pc. i put windows 7 on it. cant think of any logical reason to choose windows 8.

people say windows 8 is fine if you do this to it, do that to it, do the other to it. having done all those things to it, i disagree, but regardless...what is wrong with windows 7? i cant ever recall wanting to do something in windows 7, but not being able to.

i don't approve of windows in the workplace
