Hello to everyone, decided to finally get around to introduce myself. I am a Father, Grandpa, Husband, Jerk, and a few other things better not mention. But if you ask me, I just stand for what I believe in and that gets some pretty unusual names my way at times. I believe a country should be strong and protect itself. I believe in the right to bear arms. I believe in traditional marriage. I believe everything is overpriced and you can trust any company that sells you anything as much as you trust your Government Leaders. Just take it with a grain of salt and watch always for your family best interest. I like computers, we cannot live without them it seems, playing around with different software, handguns, family, God, and good wholesome television, movies and music. LongLiveLongmire

Politics are not a subject to discuss here, regardless, welcome. :)

I am a computer scientist. I am an Indian by birth, I've lived in France, Italy, Spain, England, and now I currently live in the USA. Welcome.

Windows 8 is good for me. :)

Was not intentionally promoting politics as much as was trying to introduce myself.

Thanks for info and reply anyways.

I tried it a few times, could have got a cheap computer or something. Seemed slow on updates to me. Others like you swear by it, maybe I am just impatient on trying new OS. I hated giving up my ME to go to XP til I finally fell in love with it.

I wish that one day, people will stop referring/comparing Windows 7 to Windows 8 and start referring to Windows 8.1 instead ...
Windows 8.1 > Windows 8.

I do not make any difference in it when I compare them. It is to me basically the same concept or platform. Nothing much change in my opinion, but that is my opinion, and that is what polls are for is it not, to get an opinion on things.

Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 are based on the same platform, but there's many differences that makes it way better than Windows 8. Not even adding the Update 1 changes in that. They are different and far from being the same if you ask me.

Cool. Should I put you down as a 8 vote then or what do you want me to do? I actually just soon to have XP again if you want my honest opinion. You can vote for 8 or not, but I think you made your point to me that you like 8 better even though you want it called 8.1

Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 can't be considered the same, that's the point I'm asking you. So if you want a Windows 7 vs Windows 8, that's cool. But if you want a real debate, at least, ask Windows 7 vs Windows 8.1 or Windows 7 vs WIndows 8 vs Windows 8.1.
Anyway.

No thanks. Got a head ache just talking anymore about this. Feel free to add a poll with that. It is not that important to me and I think most people know what I was talking about. I did not include the different versions of 7, just 7 versus 8. It is pretty simple. No more wasted time in discussing the different versions for me. Thanks for your opinion anyways.

Alright then I vote for Windows 8.1 and I have to write it down since the option isn't in the poll.
