Has anyone here upgraded from Win 7 or Win 8 and, if so, what do you think?

I will be the last man standing on Win 7 until I hear hundreds of
enthusiastic reviews and find some compelling reason to convert. I'm
very negative on the way Microsoft is trying to push this upgrade on
to people, and I deeply resent their changes to the desktop interface.


Agreed. My computer guy said Win 7 will be supported for a lot of years to come. No
need to upgrade now.


People act like this "support" is so important. As long as it runs the
hardware you have, who cares that drivers are not there for things you
don't have? Most "security" comes from 3d party software anyway.
When you look at these "updates" most affect software you are not
using. You would be better off going into "remove programs" and
getting rid of them, rather than patching them.
