My wife is running 7 on her home machine and so far, it has been pretty trouble-free for her. I know that because I haven't gotten any "Can you fix this XYZ problem on my computer?" shout outs. Boots almost instantaneous, for starters. The constant Windows updates aren't as intrusive, work in the background. And, for those of us that have *other people* who run a computer but freeze when a problem occurs, Win8 actually tells you there is a problem, then if you give it the go ahead, fixes it. |
