with the 8.1 update 1 that came 2 days ago windows 8 went down from 2gb ram requirement to 1gb ram, and from 30gb storage requirement to 16gb, that makes windows 8 more light weight than vista/windows 7 for older computers.

the ONLY reason people dislike 8 is the start menu, which is getting fixed in Windows 8.1 update 2 (coming summer, see picture)

I've left windows 7 behind me and i'm never looking back, windows 8 is better in all aspects and also incredible secure to novice users and hard to "fuck up" if you don't know what you're doing.

Get 8 if you're getting anything

I have Windows 8 and would have agreed with you about 2 months ago, but I had a wireless issue come up and there are administrative/network functionalities that were removed in Windows 8. For instance, I had to run a command line prompt simply to forget a wireless network that was out of range. For the average Windows user 8 is probably fine, but for companies running enterprise level security networks it's got to suck.
