    If you hate Windows 7 then you will hate every Windows OS after it. Guaranteed.

    But windows 7 is great, there's a few better OS on the market, but only in the open source catagory.

    If it's to complex for you... then learn how to use it, seriously it'll take like 2 days to master.

    Don't go for windows 8, it simplifies the OS to levels where you can almost do nothing. It drops a majority of compatibility with applications, so don't even think about gaming. Basically windows 7 is pretty good if you know what your doing, so you should try and learn.

    Windows 8 is nice and better than WIndows 7. But If You want to get windows 8 features on windows 7 then you must try Windows 8 Transformation Pack 6.5.

  • I don't know what more you want or what you are looking for but Windows 8 is very different from windows 7. I would just google videos for windows 8 so you can see if you want it. You can also go to Staples or best buy and play around on one of the laptops and talk to someone that works there so you can get more info. about it.

    It really depends on why you think Windows 7 sucks.

    Windows 8 is slightly more optimised, and will be quicker on boot up, but is designed mainly for touchscreens and Next-Gen computers with these touch screens. It's not like the conventional Windows we know and love, they changed up a lot, and a lot of people have stayed with Windows 7 because they don't want to change.

    Personally I dislike Windows 8, but it's up to you. If you have any doubt, maybe try dual booting it with Windows 8, and then you can see for yourself.

    Win 7 is better. You're the first person I've seen in years to say Win 7 is bad. Sounds like you must not have a system capable of running Win 7 (you either have a slow pentium or insufficient RAM). If your computer can't run Win 7, then you definitely don't want to try Win 8 on it.
