[QUOTE="Algus, post: 1561958, member: 319021"] I was toying with the idea of going to Windows 8 while I was using up the trial period on Windows 7. The GUI changes that everyone hates weren't a real issue for me. Windows only purpose on my computer is to act as a launcher for computer games that are unable or annoying to run while booted to OS X. Any time I do anything besides play a computer game, I switch back to OS X. Ultimately, I stuck with 7 because it had compatibility with everything I needed and I couldn't really see any specific benefits to going with 8 instead. If you have any specific legacy programs that you need to use, I'd recommend doing a bit of research to find out if they have problems running on 8. 7 is generally more compatible. My gut feeling right now is might as well stick with 7 until Windows 9 comes out and see if that has some of the issues that 8 had. [/QUOTE]
