Windows 7 is perfect for me, I can't be bothered to get used to a Mac unless I had it alongside a Windows laptop (won't be happening at those prices though) just because it does so much random crap but everything seems to cost loads of money and it just would confuse me too much and it'd be too different.

Windows 8 looks so....eh.

7 & XP >

I agree, to be honest, I think Windows 8 is more aimed at tablets and touchscreen PCs than desktop PCs. There's really no need to upgrade to Windows 8, 7 has everything that your gonna need for at least the next 7 years. It's your PC that you upgrade, rather than your operating system. And heck, if you ever find your desktop looking outdated, there's always rainmeter, which can make your Windows 7 desktop look like this (among many other things)

I don't plan on smashing my Windows laptop with a mallet any time soon, so it shouldn't need repairing for quite a while.
