I've been watching Win7 & win 8.1 demo videos and I have to say for my needs Win 7 is much more familiar and comfortable to use IMO.
That's why my buddy went back to Win 7 and that's also why I am staying with it.
It does
everything I need, and I'm familiar with it..plus it's quite secure and pretty much rock solid.
