Windows 8 if you are a computer illiterate person? Sorry to break it too you, I use 8, and I love it... I don't buy prebuilts, I build them, I fix them, I even build them for others. I'm far from illiterate. It's faster, better looking, and newer.
7 is slower than 8.1, not any more reliable? And not any more stable than 8?

Newer doesn't always mean better. And once again, hardware is what brings the speed. Sure, OS updates can bring some minor performance enhancements, that is to be expected, but along with it also comes the NSA's latest spyware update, the updated EULA (which isn't always better either) and of course the latest graphics "enhancements". Windows 7 in my opinion looks much better and has never once given me a problem as far as compatibility goes. The speed is always flawless too. My friends windows 8.1 laptop has trouble running many programs because they are incompatible with 8, but for me? Not a problem. And no, its not always faster either. My old netbook can barely run windows 7, so i thought that windows 8 MIGHT be a little bit faster due to the downgraded UI, and as it turns out, windows 7 runs BETTER. I ended up installing fedora on it, which is a very fast and elegant linux distrobution, and i am much happier with that. So maybe YOU should be the one to hold your lips since you had the gall to reply to my post with hostility and ignorance.
