I prefer Win 8.1 to 7 any day. I spend 99.9% of my time in desktop mode and it's fine. I prefer it!

EDIT: I don't have many/any ongoing issues with bugs, and I even use Visual Studio CTP/RC on a day to day basis, without any major issues.

Microsoft do software _really_ well. The crap they have to get right on an ongoing basis is nothing compared to Google and Facebook, we should give them some credit.



Win8.x with ClassicShell isn't bad.. and VS 2015 RC is pretty decent, most of the functionality works a lot better than it did in previous versions...


As a power user and developer, I agree with you. On the other hand I would never recommend casual users like my parents to upgrade from 7 to 8.


Hopefully 10 will be familiar enough for casual users with the start button back and all!
