I never worked with 8. Been using 7 since it came out, after migrating from XP.

Bringing seven back.

Microsoft reimagined the desktop with Windows 8, and despite the arrival of Windows 8.1, a lot of people don't like the new Windows. If you count yourself among those who can't stand Windows 8, don't worry, apparently HP has your back. The company is giving the people what they want. HP's U.S. website now carries the message, "Back by popular demand. Customize a new HP PC with Windows 7 and save up to $150 instantly." Clicking for more information leads you to a page with all of HP's Windows 7 machines. This list is currently only five computers long and includes the Pavilion 500-205t desktop, the Envy 700-215xt desktop, the Pavilion 15t-n200 notebook, the Envy 15t-j100 notebook, and the Envy Phoenix 810-135qe desktop.

I'm on 8.1 since buying a new laptop not to long ago. Win 8 is a bit of a convoluted OS. It tries to be both a tablet and conventional desktop system. I spend 99% of the time on the conventional desktop.

The 8.1 update also brought back some of the old start buton functions (most likely to help silence the moans and groans).

How sad I am I? I haven't found anything I want to do a computer that Windows 98 wouldn't have done.
