Windows 8 is nothing more than a more than an optimized Windows 7.
I beta tested Windows 8 early on and immediately formed a negative opinion, and jumped on the "Here comes the next Vista" bandwagon. After talking with a developer at work who upgraded his work laptop from 7 to 8, I decided to give it a chance and built a new PC with Windows 8. My opinion has now shifted and I have found it to be quicker and lighter weight than Windows 7.
Give it a try, you just might be surprised.
