Re: What are the substantive reasons to reject Windows 8?

said by Gem:

I'm not talking about not liking Metro or missing the start menu, but looking for more in depth reasons for saying NO to Windows 8 or even NO to Windows 7. What are the reasons for doing so?

If you're excluding dislike of Metro and the UI, then I don't think there are any other substantial reasons for rejecting Win 8, other than possibly a variety of minor glitches and reinstall gotchas that I've ready about over the past 6 months or so.

I personally love 7, I think it's their best OS to date. I reject 8 due to Metro primarily. There are actually other reasons to like 8 due to internal tech improvements, etc, from what I've heard. But if you take away the Metro/UI issue, then I don't think there is too awfully much to complain about.

I would agree with the above - love win 7 and for me it is better than XP. Win 7 has a real start button unlike XP's - where I had to use the classic start menu. For me - Win 7 has been more stable than XP over the long haul of being up for weeks/months.
