    Hi ,

    Actually I recently installed Genuine Windows 8, and it's very good, despite it's made for touch devices, and on touch devices it's awesome, but on non- touch devices too, it's nice.

    The only product which Windows make & won't suck at all is vacuum cleaner.
    Trust me, they're that whack !

    One should only change OS when one needs a particular feature in a particular OS - upgrade or new OS (e.g. Linux). Since OP doesn't have a touch laptop, he should stick with Win7.

    Yes I am agree with you. Actually I even tried Windows 8 on my desktop, and it fell me more messy. I removed windows 8 in 24 hour only. I think it is better to stick with Windows 7.

    Windows 8 is useful one. But not touch devices windows 7 is worth than win 8. If you have internet 24*7 windows 8 is so useful. And also if you upgrade there will be some driver problem available. I too face bluetooth & wifi driver prob in windows 8 so i remove win 8 from my computer. Now i use win 7 it is working good. and all drivers are working well.

    Windows 8 isn't that bad. The UI is great and the shortcut controls given in the explorer are great. If you already have Win8 stick to it since, security is definitely better than Win7. There are driver problems but you could install them manually too.

    If you're thinking about upgrading to Win8 now then probably you should wait for the next version since it would be out in the Q3 this year.
