I realize what you meant

Man up and take the plunge, it's not like Windows 8 is going any where, besides, the back end is a better. Windows "9", or whatever they decide to call it, will ultimately be Windows 8, but with some minor fixes that change "everything" to us nerds. Windows 7 is pretty much Vista with some minor changes that made us happy.

couldn't they make the metro interface switchable? i mean you can pretty much strip windows7's GUI down to XP's theme or 98's.

Yeah, the UI name is kind of unfortunate in a few ways :)

From reviews, apparently the metro interface can be turned off... to a certain extent.  Kinda like what was done with previous Windows GUI's.

We bought an HP laptop (Core i3 2nd generation, 768p, 4GB Ram) for my sister on Black Friday. It was a really good deal. The downside to that? Windows 8. Not like I really care. I left it on there and I play around with it to understand how this shitty OS works. The stability is pretty nice, but most third party programs don't work well and it has some issues laying around. I've still yet to try out CCCP with an anime video (is that site down? I can't seem to download the CCCP file off of there).

I can confirm that CCCP works on W8. Shell integration is a bit wonky but that's part of MPCHC and I see no reason that it won't be fixed in the future.

to sum it all
windows 8 is great if u r buying a laptop with touch interface
and also no need to worry as almost everything works just fine at consumer level at which you would watch animes
so if you want to upgrade then just do it
