Win 8 is better than 7 all round: native support for USB 3, SSD's are automatically ready to go, nothing to tweak, everything is faster and slicker and you'll be using an OS that Microsoft actually cares about. 7 is on its way out. :whiste:

Gimme a break. There's no good reason for MS not to continue to support their most popular OS ever. This situation stinks!

I think your sarcasm meter is due for a service check ;-)

Nah, they gotta kill XP one of these days

Yeah all these patches are eating up space, as copy of installers is kept in windows\installer folder. Sucks for SSD owners who want to save some space.

looks awesome if you service computers often enough that having update an OS can become a hassle.
