Windows 8 is shit, and only kids who started using pcs in 2009 or something with Windows 7 as their first OS likes it….
I started using PCs in 1999 with Windows 98, switched directly to XP in 2002, switched to Vista in 2008 and reverted to XP the same year. I went for Windows 7 in 2011, and this year I went for Windows 8. But it is bullshit, and I dont need touch screen on my PC, my Smart Phone is good enough! I am back with Windows 7, and planning to start using Linux next year….
I used XP SP2 which was unsupported in 2010, and nothing happened. The malware stuff is over exagarrated and malwayers usually target newer OSs….
