Many have seen that windows 7 probably uses only 25% more resources than xp, while the hardware has sped up by over 2-4x, and they found it acceptable, but windows 8 is really not a nice version to be working with...
It's a step backward, back on the same level as Windows 3.11 if you ask me!
Almost no control, no flexibility, runs slow on those slower tablet processors, is too large in size for an OS; and most of the time, the OS is not even able to do what you want to do, and if it does it, it won't do it very well, nor very fast!
Wow! Yep, I remember the good old XP days... I'm an architectural designer, using very demanding 3d applications (Autodesk Revit), thank god XP is gone in our neighborhood! It can't hold a candle to 7, but I do miss those daily crashes, blue screens, etc. If it weren't for windows update, I wouldn't have to reboot at all.
