Windows XP

XP wasn't good until it had been out for about a year and a half and they had eliminated the bulk of the problems (mainly shitty driver support).

Win 8 will never be good, Very few people like that operating system. Personally i like to have an actual desktop and before you say "win 8 has a desktop" yeah it does but for the most part win 8 forces the app system down your throat.

windows 8.1 is light years ahead of windows 7, especially in gui accelleration & optimization

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.

I personally hate supporting it and am glad its not deployed to the masses at our company, just random sales laptops and tablets. We chose to skip W8, which is typically what business does. W7 Prof/Ent is supported until 2020 with all security updates and such, so we have plenty of time.

Microsoft is now charging companies that insist on staying on xp through the nose for individual support.

and stupid people in charge actually think they're getting a good deal out of this because they didn't have to upgrade -.-
