| 1391404 | 2015-01-03 10:02:00 | Doing a little research on which OS would you use or which you think is better Windows 7 or Windows 8 ???? | AppleFan (17097) | ||
| 1391405 | 2015-01-03 16:59:00 | I've kinda got used to 8.1 by now, but still find it be somewhat insiduous, so therefore prefer 7. | Greg (193) | ||
| 1391406 | 2015-01-03 18:18:00 | I prefer Windows 8.1. I use that at home and Windows 7 at work, and 7 just feels dated. | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 1391407 | 2015-01-03 18:30:00 | Nah...skipping 8, wait for 10. | pctek (84) | ||
| 1391408 | 2015-01-03 18:33:00 | Yep, 7 is dated, but Win 8.x is unlovable, it really needs training. ;) Win 9 is the most reliable ever though. |

| 1391409 | 2015-01-03 18:39:00 | I use 7 at home and 8.1 at work. 8.1 has a faster boot time and that is all it has going for it, if you could turn off the Playskool screen on a desktop 8.1 would be rated but you can't so it doesn't even compare to 7. |

| 1391410 | 2015-01-03 22:56:00 | 7 feels so awkward now. Once you actually get over the difference 8.1 is far better. Not just in speed, but lots of other deeper actions as well. Mind you the majority of people only use a fraction of any OS. if you could turn off the Playskool screen on a desktop 8.1 would be rated but you can't so it doesn't even compare to 7. Why dont you simply not use it and use 8.1 like W7 then theres no need to use it ? On ALL the 8.1 PC's here the tiled screen is only assessed when wanted, mine has shortcuts to some programs instead of having a desktop full of shortcuts. SWMBO is on W8.1, the ONLY time the tiled screen is even accessed is when turning it off OR going to the windows store because its set up to work how she likes it. Guess if someone doesn't have the knowledge to set things up, theres no help then ;) MANY people WILL STILL have problems with W10 as well -- Why? - simple they wont know how the functions work. Any one can put a few shortcuts on the desktop, but use many of the new features - they will again be lost and complain. Windows 7 Home is now gone end of life anyway, so what ever stock is in the shops is all there will be, once its sold there is no more. |

| 1391411 | 2015-01-03 23:38:00 | Vista still looks good, SWMBO inherited my ol' HP lappie and seems happy enough:devil Nothing here newer than 7 except if it's a clients. (Not because I dislike 8.1, I just don't see the need for constant upgrades, if machines do what is required.) I am mostly using Linux Mint 17.1:devil :p So no preference really.:xmouth: |

| 1391412 | 2015-01-04 00:00:00 | 8 has good and bad points. Whoever decided to make simple things like starting in safe mode, or shutting down, more involved is an idiot! | Renegade (16270) | ||
| 1391413 | 2015-01-04 03:30:00 | Hey i have have windows 7 on both pc that is laptop and Home Computer , getting another laptop and most likely will install windows 8 , i have had good reviews over 7 , i have tried windows 8 and at first view , i pretty much hated new look but if i have to use it then it will take me time to learn it . I think windows 8 look better on windows tablet . I have had a look at windows 10 , looks same but as comments say it's the best windows . Just saw windows 10 preview for download , will download it later and see how i go with it |
