I'm a firm believer in "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"

I used winxp (and still use winxp) on systems that have less than 4g of ram, because, why add overhead?

Haven't used any windows more recent than 7, switching from xp->7 certainly caused me some (minor) eq issues such as the UAC popup blackscreening EQ and the like (Fixable, disable the UAC dim effect!).

I haven't used windows more recent than 7, but if you like having the newer windows, I'd give it a month for the public to report all the bugs so you don't have to deal with it while trying to use your PC. If you have the option to wait to upgrade, that is.

Security. If your worried about overhead install Linux.

That's true, unfortunately there's quite a few things I use which don't play nicely with linux. I sell extra bandwidth and CPU power and they only support Mac/Win so I have little choice in what to use in my fancy dvd-playing boxes I leave running under a few TVs
