Stay on topic STARS, this is about Windows 7 or 8, not your fantasy land.

So much about Windows XP......

As for Windows 7 or 8 I see more people using Windows 7 than 8.Mostly because Windows 8 is easier to use on touch screens than on a regular desktop PC with the mouse.At least that is what most of the people say who use Windows 7.Many of them also complain that there is no START button.But Microsoft has made an update for that so it shouldn't be a problem now.Even though the START button does open the menu in the FULL SCREEN rather then a small regular menu as it is in Windows 7 or older.

Many people also use Windows 8 because it boots faster.But honestly I would never spend money on the new OS just because it boots faster lol.

I have to admit that Windows 8 is a good OS and it does work pretty fast.But if you already own Windows 7 then I would think twice before spending money on the new OS since Windows 7 offers more than enough for the regular user.UNLESS if you make metro applications under Visual C# 2012 for example...

This is due to Windows 8 being barely a year old, while Windows 7 is 4 years old. Durr.

Well at least the newest Visual Studio 2012 works under Windows 7 and newer.It does not work under Windows Vista though...

Thats true, a year after 7 was released I still saw more people running XP than even Vista.

This is becoming true for quiet a few pieces of software, Adobe Creative Suite will only run on Windows 7 64 bit and newer.
