You do realize you are missing out on huge performance boost by not upgrading to 8 just because you don't like the UI, right?

- actsasbuffoon 10y agoYes, I do. I have a hard enough time with the UI that I'm willing to accept a performance penalty. I'm colorblind, and the flat design makes it very hard for me to figure out what's clickable. Things like borders, shadow, and shading provide valuable visual hints about which parts of the UI can be interacted with. I've heard that Windows 10 has walked back some of the more problematic design changes.
- whyoh 10y agoOh, come on! There is no huge performance boost. In fact, based on most properly done benchmarks, there isn't any performance boost at all! The whole "myth" of a performance boost probably started simply because they added a new startup mode in W8, called "Fast Startup", which is basically just partial hibernation. So even saying that it boots faster isn't correct; regular boot, sleep and hibernation are still just as fast as they were on W7.
