It's the best thing ever created since Win 95, or Windows CEMENT (CE, ME & NT) Well it sort of mostly worked on my PC. I feel like international space stations should be on a different level personally. |
| Windows 7 simply because I don't need all that start screen stuff or whatever new and minor features Windows 8 has. I don't see a point in downloading third party programs to make 8 look like 7 when I can just use 7 lol |
| Win XP |

Zephys said: I don't see a point in downloading third party programs to make 8 look like 7 when I can just use 7 lol Those are optional to make Windows 8(.1) look less ugly and/or more familiar. Also, there is no reason to use Windows 8(.1) if you already have Windows 7 and are content with it. |
| Neither because Linux master race. But between the two, windows 8.1, specially because of the (incoming) dx12, also better visual and better perfomance and speed in some areas, my only problem with windows 8 is terrible backward compatibility with super old dx games. |
| windows 7 for sure iv never used windows 8 but i know 5 people who have and they all say it sucks dick pretty much the same as back in the day with xp and vista if i where you i would use a cracked virsion of 7 and then get windows 9 when that release |
 |
| OP, I know you said no other OS... but still, Linux. Between those two, 7 is the better piece of garbage. |
 |
| W7 is the last great Windows OS, 8 is shit, 8.1 is not great, 9 won't be as good, and Windows 10 will be shit due to being a cloud OS. |
 |
| i prefer windows 7 |
| RRRRRRRRRR |
| The UI in Windows 8 is a mess, 7 is better. |
 |
| I would say windows 7 since I have been using it for a long time and am used to it , for example if my computer malfunctions I can fix it on 7 but 8 just complicate things guess I don't like change o.O |
 |
| Windows 2000 Jk If I have to choose between 7 and 8, 7. Though I have windows 8 and downloaded windows clamshell. windows xp is good. |
 |
| WinXP - no shit, able to set classic design with good old explorer. |

It depends entirely on what you're gonna be doing and if you're willing to learn how to properly use Linux. If you're into gaming on your computer you'll want Windows. Overall besides gaming Linux is by far superior, security and customization alone was the main reason I switched to Linux. You should dual-boot Windows and Linux and see which one you prefer. |
tl;dr: i think windows 8.1 is superior to windows 7. it is fast, lightweight, and stable. startup and shutdown time are within a few seconds. it is a beast of an operating system. |
| I switched to Linux nearly 4 years ago, and I love it. I have old racing wheels, webcams, printers & scanners, some of which are nearly 15 years old and would never work in modern windows, but they all work on Linux as soon as you plug them in. Linux is so fast, and so light on resources, and you don't need an antivirus, because it's nearly impossible to get viruses with Linux. I'll never use windows again. |

| Which distro do you use, Working_Designs? |
| Never tried windows 8. So sad T.T |
| Build your own pc, get win7 and profit |
| 7 all the way. 8 is gross. |

| Win 8: because it's the newest. :/ |

Tim_ said: Which distro do you use, Working_Designs? Right now, I'm using Linux Mint 13 with Xfce. I used Cinnamon for a while, but I wanted a change. When I first started using Linux, I used Ubuntu 10.04. |
|
| I've been using Windows since my first computer. But I may have to switch to Macbook in a couple months time, because I absolutely hate the Windows 8 system. Much prefer the Windows 7 system. |
 |
| I have windows 8 but to be fair Win 7 is better if you have no other external products. Win 8 links with my Xbox and Windows phone easily (not saying 7 doesn't link but 8 is built to link up)... |
 |
| Windows XP ftw. Well, I'm only saying that, 'cause my computer is too old for Windows 7 lol |
| Windows 8 was such a hassle to upgrade and configure to my personal requirements. A few months ago I would have said Windows 7 is better, but now that my PC is all set up and settled, I'm really liking Windows 8. Though, in all fairness, a good deal of my configuration of Windows 8 was to make it operate and look... just like Windows 7. lol |
| Win 7, start menu in w8 sucks ass |
| Is this a joke |
| 7,Windows 8 makes me sick |
 Stop calling me your bunny I won't hop and you don't own me  |

| I don't know what people are saying about "Windows 7 for gaming, Windows 8 for tablets". Windows 8 has slightly better performance than 7. |

| 8 because I also own a Surface and a Windows Phone, it's easier to synchronize. |

Jackrabb1t said: Anyways, anyone on here running TAILS? I don't use Tails, but I do have some information on Tor. The Inside Story of Tor, the Best Internet Anonymity Tool the Government Ever Built "That’s ironic, because Tor started as a project of the U.S. government. More than half of the Tor Project’s revenue in 2012, or $1.24 million, came from government grants, including an $876,099 award from the Department of Defense, according to financial statements available on the project’s website." "Paul Syverson at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory in Washington is one of the world’s foremost researchers on encrypting and routing data and one of Tor’s creators." "For the onion router to work properly, the Navy needed to step back from running it. A cloaking system is not useful if all the cloaks say 'Navy' on them." "Syverson and other researchers have written voluminously about Tor’s weaknesses. The network operates within the wider Web, and the way users behave and configure their computers outside Tor is one of the biggest sources of insecurity." "One way the NSA found to get around Tor’s software and spy on users was an attack called 'EgotisticalGiraffe,' exploiting a vulnerability in the Firefox browser. Another approach was to try to reconstruct the encrypted path to find the identity of a Tor user by monitoring relays, according to the 'Tor Stinks' presentation." "Tor exerts little control over who volunteers to host traffic, and researchers have found evidence of abuse, such as cases where an operator is snooping on traffic." "In September a security researcher, Robert Graham of Errata Security, analyzed almost 23,000 connections to a relay he’d set up, and concluded that the majority were vulnerable to NSA decryption. Three-quarters of the traffic he monitored used an older version of Tor based on encryption keys that 'everyone seems to agree' the NSA can break, he wrote." "Yet because of Snowden, we now know that the NSA has been working to unpeel the protective layers built by the Tor system." "'With manual analysis we can de-anonymize a very small fraction of Tor users,' one slide reads." "Tapping the line before it enters the Tor network can reveal the origin of the traffic" "Tapping the line after it emerges from the Tor network can reveal the destination and the content" |
| Windows 7. Doesn't have the hamfisted metro UI. |

Heredity said: I think you misunderstood me. I have an app called Start8, which allows Windows 8 to login to the traditional desktop by default and adds a start button on the taskbar. It really does work just like Windows 7 now.Jackrabb1t said: you can't use anything else on the screen while using the start menu, so spending so much time getting it set up to work like 7 seems like a waste of time to me.Windows 8 was such a hassle to upgrade and configure to my personal requirements.

| I HATE WINDOWS 8. SO MUCH. Ahhhh why did I install this crap? *sob* I really liked Windows 7. I miss it. I miss the thing you had in the bottom left hand corner (don't know how it's called in english). It was handy. Oh, and turning your computer off was so much easier. Also, I actually never ever use the possibilities in the home menu, so, there's no point for me in using Windows 8... Nevertheless, I have no choice but using it. |
