Windows 7 or 8?

That's the only time I've seen it. Not really annoying as all versions of windows has some kind of autoplay popup.

I might have autoplay disabled, but I haven't done much with the DVD drive yet either.

And, yes, if you already have Win7 on a computer then no reason to "upgrade" to Win8 on that computer. My son has Win7 on my brother's old computer, so no reason to touch that. I bought a new laptop and kinda had no choice and I took the Win8 plunge.

2) Windows 8 is a solid operating system, as long as you install this, tweak that, get use to this thing, and squint while looking crossed-eyed at it to make it look/feel/operate like Windows 7.

Maybe not so complicated, but yeah, pretty much.

Mleh, I'm more about Windows 8 when it comes to using it with a tablet, probably, but for a desktop or laptop, I still prefer Windows 7 Ultimate x64.

Bump. Well, I got my sweet HP laptop which comes with both Windows 7 Pro and Windows 8 Pro. 7 works just fine as was expected and forseen but since I just got the laptop and was feeling adventurous, I decided to take Windows 8 for a spin first, 'cause why not.

Seriously, it's just like 7 but with unnecessary BS replacing some key things. I just couldn't stop asking myself, "Why would I want to use this over 7?" And to add a cherry on top of the lamecake, Windows 8 failed to recognize my wireless adapter, even when I installed the needed software that was bundled along with the laptop.

So I don't think I'll be using 8 for a long while now.

EDIT: Apparently I missed a step when I was installing the requisite software on Windows 8 so it's no wonder the network adapter wasn't recognized. Nevertheless, the "Why would I want to use this over 7?" part still very much applies.
