clark Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I suggest you for the moment to keep Windows 7 and upgrade to Windows 8 once importants bugfixes are released , or even to see how windows 8 is going (reviews etc..)Windows vista is a wrong idea due to the lags and the more memory usage compared to Windows 7.Go for Windows 7 because it's a bit common to the old OS systems so it's more easy to use it at the first time , compared to windows 8 where you'll need to search things etc..Here a Speed tests between 8 & 7 you could find another videos on youtube the best choice is yours because it's your usage[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzFTE_PQ0c0](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzFTE_PQ0c0)PS: Once you want to change to windows 8 from windows 7 you can do it by buying it for 60 $ or something like that from the microsoft store (online no CD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marsh Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I set up a windows 98 a few years back. It would last about a hour of connecting to the internet each time before it got destroyed and needed a reformat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 > Vista sucks, it have many errors> > Metro sucks, it is designed for tablets> > So i am recommending to choose Win 7You're, as always, an idiot.–-Honestly go for 8, my reason being that the hardware acceleration is so much better than 7's. Even if you don't like Metro you can bring back the old Windows 7 menus using a third party program like Start8.Plus, it's only like $40 ![:P](http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/community/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.png).

Anna Comnena Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Well I haven't used Win7 yet, I'm currently on a WinXP computer. The Vista 64-bit seemed to work alright for my more modern computer though, although if 7 is decent then stick with it. 8 is stupid because everything is designed around touchscreen and tablet interface (even Windows Server 2012 is touchscreen high graphics kiddy interface BS).> Here is Windows timeline ![:P](http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/community/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.png)> > Win 98 - Great> > Win 2000 - Sucks> > Win XP - Great Great> > Win Vista - Sucks Sucks> > Win 7 - Great Great Great> > Win 8 - no commentWin2k was ducking flawless. The only issue Win2k had was it didn't have all the driver compatibility or ease of use that WinXP had. But it was stable and didn't BSoD every 20 minutes like Win98/ME. You probably thinking Win2k was WinME, actually. Because WinME was the worst; had all the fluff and features of XP but was built on the buggy Win95/98 base. Win2k was built on the WinNT base so that was why it was stable (same with XP). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zzbrandon Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I would keep windows 7 windows 8 just looks like it turning into just a media pc like mac's I would wait for windows 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
or3o Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Just do the exact opposite of whatever zzbrandon suggest and everything will work fine. In fact deathbeam and zzbrandon said stay with 7? "upgrades to 8" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaaron Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Windows 8\. It's faster and it takes time to get used too, but it's better then W7._Try it before you actually talk about it._> I'm waiting for 9.Not funny at all, if that's what you're going for.If you don't like Windows 8, then you obviously won't like Windows 9.
