Help with Win 8 feedback buy or not to buy?
Ixarku:
Personally, I'm doing the same thing I've done with every other major Windows release after Win 98 -- skipping Win 8. As a desktop user, I just don't see any incentive for me to upgrade from Win 7 at this time.

the only noticeable performance increase i know of windows8 is it's boot-up time is around 2times faster than of windows7.
edit: most noticeable from a slow harddrive, not much noticeable from an SSD.

The System itself uses less resources, since components are only loaded when needed and unloaded again when no longer needed.
Made a difference on my notebook of 0.5GB RAM usage. (Win7 1.5GB vs Win8 1GB Ram system usage, 64bit edition)

^i dunno if thats relevant on systems with over 8GB of ram, people these days with gaming rigs usually has 4x4GB or 2x8GB in them as well.
