Stay away from Windows 8 for as long as you possibly can. Windows 7 beats it in every single area if you aren't using a touchscreen PC/device.
Wait for Microsoft to release Windows 9 or whatever the hell they decide to call it. Their operating systems alternate between absolute shit and better than the last.

Yeah, looking at it from that perspective, Windows 8 IS probably more suitable to a touch screen device.
Aside from the stupid 'mouse moving' shortcuts that happen regularly when trying to do a simple task, the OS itself has been absolutely fine for me, and I do a LOT of stuff on my laptop.
I have never had any issues installing or running any software so far, and I have found Win 8 to run programs (& the OS itself) with less resources than Win 7 did.
Still agree that Win 7 is a great OS though. It was XP but much, MUCH more secure.

Pfft, if someone actually cared about keeping their computer safe they'd switch to a Linux Distro. Windows is a malware magnet, regardless of version.
Anyone who wants to keep their computer safe just needs to install some anti-virus and learn to avoid clicking malicious links. I've been virus-free for over 6 years and I've been using the same Windows 7 install without any issues or corruption for over 2 years. I'd still be using the same Windows 7 install from six years ago if I hadn't upgraded my hardware between them.

Personally, i'm going to be switching to Steam OS real soon once they fix the partitioning interface, that way i'll have the safety and easy to customize Linux OS while also steam to play on.
