Have you even tried it? It's really not that bad. Just different.

I installed win 8 for my new desktop, after using win 7 a lot.

Win 8 is a straight upgrade, except the UI is a bit confusing.

But you can install software to get it back to win 7 UI.

The boot time is amazing. I don't know if its the better parts, but its booting in less than 10 seconds, making installation of drivers and other applications less frustrating.

if you get windows 8 and just download classic shell, you're good to go.

I will be using an SSD for OS, so boot time should be pretty fast regardless

from /r/buildapc -- where this discussion has been had how many times?

tl;dr for the Windows 7 vs. Windows 8 debate:

If you don't have an OS and are thinking of buying one, get Windows 8. If you already have Windows 7, then it is perfectly fine to continue using it for at least the next few years.

i was hesitant to go from win7 to win8 -- just grab a program like Start8 ($5 from Stardock), ClassicShell (free, check out WinAero's cool skinpack or StartW8 (like Start8, but not from stardock and freeware)

there is a significant boot difference, in general, from win7 to win8 -- SSD or normal HDD
