I'm glad that I did end up installing Windows 7. I used to have Windows 8 but it was buggy as hell and decided it was time for change.

What do you guys think? Windows 7 or Windows 8?

"Windows 8 is buggy as hell!!!"
Yeah it generally is, that's why 8.1 exists.

It was too good so Windows didnt make any more sales with newer software so they shut it down.

And you should have installed 8.1 instead of 7.

At least you just disproved that you ever used 8.1, thanks for that.

if you were planning to call windows 8.1 shit, then why did you even bother creating this poll in the first place?

this is like the second nvidia or amd thread, maybe even worse

Windows 8 isn't really that bad...as long as you apply all those mods to get the start menu back etc. And disable all that shit where menus pop up when you move your cursor to any edge of the screen, that is soooo annoying.

Overall it seems a lot more stable and faster than windows 7.

Personally I think it's the other way around, my computer w/ windows 7 boots up almost three times faster than windows 8. I also had a lot less to deal with when starting up windows 7. Both windows run smoothly, just with different options and some completely new screen.

If you're using Windows XP or below, you are a nostalgia-fag.

If you are using Windows 7, you probably haven't upgraded yet or you're acting edgy.

If you're using Windows 8, then good.

I'm running a dualboot of 7 and 8.1. While I prefer the interface of 8.1, it has latency problems in windowed mode that you can't get rid of (even if you use the cmd trick to disable DWM) and is incompatible with the HIDUSBF polling rate mod.
Honestly though, I really don't get the hate for 8.1. Sure, it has its problems, but it is by no means a terrible operating system.

Did you try raw input? What does the polling rate/latency say under raw input?

i use windows 8.0 (can't upgrade to 8.1 due to shitty samsung driver issues but hey at least this is still supported for now) and it's been great for me. people who say "boo hoo tablet operating system" are just super autistic and can't accept change for once in their lives

Like I've said earlier, I actually prefer windows 8.1. But don't you think that the way Microsoft handled windows 8 was incredibly stupid and ignorant? Why couldn't they have 2 editions? Windows 8 for mobile, where there is the Start Screen, dragging shit from the edges of the screen, and opening pictures/videos/other media obnoxiously in full screen by default instead of windows. And then, Windows 8 for desktop, without all that shit. It's not that complicated – Apple, an company that knows what the fuck they're doing, has always had iOS and OS X separate. Seriously, who do you know even has a mobile device w/ windows 8 on it? It's dominated by iOS and android.

tl;dr windows 8 is good but not because of these "changes". Just because aesthetically it looks nice and is faster.
god, after the Xbone incident and windows 8 I've started to question microsoft a lot.

I'm running 8.1 (decided to give it a try) and it's pretty great, no complaints so far (well other than some things not working the way they're supposed to, I miss you bassmidi ;_;) but I still feel more at home with Windows 7...

Look, I'm sure you love going into a fullscreen excuse for a menu every time you press Start, and I'm sure that swiping from the edge of your probably shitty laptop touchpad to get access to a few minor things is a really cool gimmick too.

But hey, check this awesome thing out:



Isn't this cool ? And it doesn't even take up your entire screen, wow !

Or or or, you could just download a program if you're really too stubborn to just learn how to use the new start menu alternatives! Wow!!!!!!!!!! So Good!! Ten Out Of Ten!!!!!!!! besides, who the hell actually uses their laptop touchpad?

Nah, I prefer my idea of having an actually fully functional start menu built into my OS without having to download a third party app that won't even work properly because the ~start screen~ interferes with it.
