Windows 7 or 8.1 - GoFuckYourself.com

Cherry7 · 04-07-2014, 08:46 AM

Buying a new computer for Video editing....

Choice between Windows 7 and 8.1 after years of XP....

Any advice?

EddyTheDog · 04-07-2014, 08:48 AM

I liked 8.1 at first - Changed my mind though and moved back to 7 - The whole app thing just does not work unless you use a touch screen...

CurrentlySober · 04-07-2014, 08:55 AM

i like poo...

FreeHugeMovies · 04-07-2014, 09:03 AM

7 is safe

marcop · 04-07-2014, 09:07 AM

I like 7 a lot... upgraded from Vista which SUCKED.

Axeman · 04-07-2014, 09:16 AM

I prefer 7. I did hear they are still planning to make 8.1 even more like 7 though. So when it gets more in line, I may reconsider again. Or just wait til 9.

timlover · 04-07-2014, 09:27 AM

You might as well get 8.1. You do have the option to downgrade your license to 7 if you prefer. However; Microsoft is bringing back the look and feel of 7 in the next 8.1 update so really, you might as well just go with 8.1

I run a PC shop and I am recommending the same to my clients

a) if your upgrading an XP based computer that is still good enough (dual core ddr2/3) Then go with 7

b) new purchases...Win 8.1

Windows 8 is for web surfers, Windows 7 is for IT/Webmaster people

sherobabe7 · 04-07-2014, 09:42 AM

7 is for best shot.

wehateporn · 04-07-2014, 09:45 AM

fetishwealth · 04-07-2014, 09:50 AM

Just get 8.

The people that are talking about it being for "surfers" and even mentioning apps are retards that couldn't figure out how to click the Desktop tile.

It's pretty much the same damn thing as 7, just with some bells and whistles added to file explorer, some options when you put your mouse on the right side of your screen and a fullscreen start menu that's actually pretty dope for sorting your porgrams.(and of course major changes on the back-end, but let's not pretend that any of you know jack shit about software engineering)

candyflip · 04-07-2014, 10:00 AM

I'm a Mac user and I love Windows 8.1

michael.kickass · 04-07-2014, 11:18 AM

Windows 7 all the way.

wizzart · 04-07-2014, 11:36 AM

8.1 is faster but still have bugs, win7 is perfect.

So am I and the little that I have to use Windows I liked Vista better than 7 or any of the prior versions. Haven't used 8 so I can't say.

dillfly2000 · 04-07-2014, 12:44 PM

I'm still on vista. runs like butter with nails and broken glass in it.

DumpManager · 04-07-2014, 12:52 PM

Can't go wrong with lucky number 7.

Yep 2000 was good and actually Windows 95 was good for it's time too. 98 sucked and was not stable but 98SE was good.

Anyway go with some Linux besides Ubuntu. Failing that Windows 7. Sure they claim they are going to fix Windows 8 but can your really trust them?

dready · 04-07-2014, 02:29 PM

It's better to stay current IMO. Windows 7 = released in 2009.

FlowerKid · 04-07-2014, 02:46 PM

Windows 7 is quite outdated now. Get Win 8.1 instead. If you don't like the tile stuff, just install classic shell and it looks like Win 7, but with the benefits of Windows 8.

Why not get one that can run Final Cut Pro? Join the grown up movie editors.

MPGdevil · 04-07-2014, 04:15 PM

Isn't Windows 8.1.1 released in a few days? Go with that.

Do grown ups really know best?

Adobe Premiere is growing in popularity with editors.

Apples lack of support for Final Cut Pro has caused a lot of unhappines with the grown up editors.

Nice chatting, going back out to play.

Asiantraffic · 04-08-2014, 02:25 AM

Win 7 64 bit

DigitalPimpNetwork · 04-08-2014, 02:40 AM

7, I will buy a new laptop soon the first thing I will do is remove that joke of an OS 8.1 and put 7 back on

Roald · 04-08-2014, 02:43 AM

The new service pack for 8 will be released today which makes it easier and more 7 like to navigate.

Go 8.

Can you do that? Is all hardware that comes with windows 8 compatible with 7? Or only designed to run on 8?

Scott McD · 04-08-2014, 03:02 AM

7.

8 can suck my balls...

Black All Through · 04-08-2014, 03:32 AM

I bought a notebook with 8.1, has been the biggest mistake ever, I absolutely hate it. 7 all the way!

Looks like you can only downgrade Windows 8.1 Pro. Possibly also only preinstalled versions?

That's why I'm seriously considering 8.1. I don't generally like a brand spanking new OS release, but I don't want to go with 7 and then have to upgrade again in a few years because Microsoft is ceasing support for it.

I have an unopened 8.1 retail box sitting here, still undecided whether to install that, or try to find a legitimate/legal way to install 7.

adultchatpay · 04-08-2014, 04:29 AM

I am comfortable with Windows 7 at the moment.

Cherry7 · 04-08-2014, 07:10 AM

I am promised Windows 8 with Windows 7 skin.....

Lykos · 04-08-2014, 07:31 AM

Windows 8.1 is very good !

Flymaster · 04-08-2014, 07:54 AM

Win 7 - good

Chosen · 04-08-2014, 08:57 AM

I would definitely prefer Windows 7
