Should I update to windows 8/9?

[Justin00]

Don't upgrade. Win 7 is perfect.

Win8 is retarded... don't even bother with it. I certainly won't be until 3+ years from now and we have to.. probably longer than 3 years come to think of it.

Windows 8 is more secure, boots faster, has better hard drive and memory management, plays games faster, and is more stable and leaner.

Yes the UI sucks, but that takes about 30 seconds to fix with a third-party application like ClassicShell, and then the UI is identical to that of windows 7.

I wouldn't pay to upgrade, but Windows 8 is objectively better software by many criteria.

Well, I guess for tablets the UI actually is better. It's easier and streamlined. I guess it also depends on what you're doing with your machine. If you're a developer or using the device professionally you may be better off with a classic UI.

Ok I was with windows 8.1 untill this morning, I had to uninstall it because of thousands of errors...

[Dfrost]

Windows 8 is the worse OS ever I want WinXP back!

[jbrnt]

Windows8 is ok if you can get over the UI change. I am still using WindowsXP and I like it a lot, it is fast and if it crashes, I have tools to retreive my files. I cannot say the same for Windows8. What I hate most about current new PCs is a combination of UEFI, gpt partition and windows licence in the bios, not Windows8 specifically. There are ways around the issues, but is such a hazzle to reinstall the whole system.

No. Windows 7 is the best to keep it at this time.

[DonQuijote]

8.1 is nice

[jontrue]

Now use Windows 8.1 is the best ... 

[Decksperiment]

I use linux and XP, never will upgrade past those.. as for the win8 desktop menu, it ican be disabled, I do it for the suckers here who use it thinkin they are in with the jones's.. china banned windows 8 because it deletes any file it fancies.. never mind the spyware

[PowerCordZ]

Windows 8/9 is not recommended. Best to keep windows 7.

[CozyLife]

8.1 is the latest and it's my favorite. Some people don't like the beauty of the new start menu as they refuse to get used to how to use it. It looks a lot better now than it did with the original Start menus.

[CrackedLogic]

Hey guys,  apparently windows 9 is a bit better. Any news?

[CrackedLogic]

You people are retards.

Its time to dump the windows crap and move to linux........

Start with Linux Mint 17 Cinnamon.

If you must, you can install playonlinux to run your windows apps.

Windows is for retards.

I totally agree with you, however I find Windows to be more comfortable for me.

[Iamyourdad]

i think windows 8..

[Dabangg]

Windows 8.1 is great. You can use Classic Shell

[mymenace]

wait for windows 10

[CrackedLogic]

wait for windows 10

Tried the preview, it's meh.

[Crypto_Junkee]

Man I hate Windows 8/9.  Perfectly fine with Windows 7

[Nocturne]

Windows 7 is still pretty decent, theres no need to upgrade honestly.

Unless its some requirement specs for something, less upgrading means less things to learn.
