windows 7 is amazing, personally i dont see any reason to upgrade. i bought a new PC and i put windows 7 on it instead of 8.

It's far from amazing, both lag horribly but i win 7 is better than 8. The only reason i would even consider paying for windows is for game compatibility.


Win 7 lags horribly?

Wow, you are on a roll today. 

Win7 is regarded as a fast, smooth and responsive OS by anyone with a subjective view on the matter.  But you think its lags "horribly"

Just stop.

 

It's considered a fast, smooth and responsive OS by people who haven't tried better alternatives. The boot time of windows 7 is simply riduculous.

Who actually has to boot up the OS nowadays? This is 2013, we have sleep mode.

9=will be good!!!!! right?????

Win2k was great. It didn't have quite the level of compatibility as XP, but it was so good I used it for the longest time before moving to XP. Win2k used the WinNT kernel which is what MS used to create XP (unlike Win98/WinME which were based on DOS.)

You also skipped WinME, which was terrible.

I have Windows 8 and its just a more confusing version of the Mac/IPod Os. I am getting close to replacing it with Windows 7.


whats confusing about it.

You want control panel...? just type control panel, its so easy... guess people hate change.


I like to keep my Xbox near my TV...not on my computer. (Literally...it says Xbox). My computer was such a drag to look for in the beginning, and it is not userfriendly in the slightest compared to Windows 7. I got the Kindle app and it doesn't f'n work because Windows 8 isn't supported for certain books, Certain games are a drag as well. Its f'n stupid.

Win7 doesn't take that long to boot up. It takes longer for my computer to go through the POST screen, etc. than it takes to boot into Win7. My boot drive isn't even that fast, it's only a 120GB Intel 510 SSD drive. My Mac (MBA) boots up faster, but it doesn't show the POST screen or anything like that.

Me for one and i hope a lot of other people as leaving on sleep 24/7 is still wasting energy.

Alright, how about hibernate?
