I've used Vista until now, but I'm planning on buying a new stationary computer soon, and I'll probably buy Windows 8, mainly for the improved security features (but also the improved speed/boot time, file copy dialog, Reset & Refresh and File History). From what I hear, it's possibly to largely ignore the Metro interface, which is what I plan to do.
Would anyone who's used Windows 8 recommend me to buy Windows 7 instead?
- dmight 14y agoI've used windows 8 for a few days and I would say its not THAT bad once you get accustomed to it. So far I haven't seen any reasons to switch to Windows 8 on my main computer yet.
- Encosia 14y agoI've been using Windows 8 on my primary machine for about a year. I couldn't imagine going back to Windows 7. 8 is a clear upgrade once you learn to use it (which takes very little time if you actively attempt to learn the new interface).
- dagw 14y agoIf you simply ignore the Metro thing and use the desktop, I find Windows 8 better the Windows 7 in every way.
