Hey guys, I just ordered a new laptop, its an HP, pretty nice, not as nice as my Envy, but its pretty nice. It comes stock with Windows 8, and I vaguely remember my hatred for Windows 8 from when I sold it at Staples upon its release last year. The laptop is NOT touch interfaced in any way, so that gets rid of the main reason for having Windows 8..


..what do you guys think? Should I keep Windows 8 on there considering this will be my programming & work laptop ..or would it be worth it to me to install Windows 7?

Ubuntu will already be on as a dual-boot. Every computer I own gets Ubuntu.

Kali Linux as an everyday OS? Hell no.
As for Windows, if you haven't used 8 you can use it for a while and then decide, myself I have never tried it.

I have used it not long after its release, but I'm wondering if anyone here is using it as their primary, if some of those little annoyances got fixed or what? I feel like the security is much better, and the optimization of resources seems better, but I'm on the fence.

Because I still need Windows for various tasks, main one including recording studio software ..my interface would not be compatible with Linux, which I'm okay with cause I like to keep myself familiar with Windows as well to make my job easier.

There are a few benefits and improvements with Win8 (which I can't be fucked to list), but I prefer Windows 7 for a few reasons, the main being the UI. Notably, you could always do a few modifications and it'd be practically the same UI of Win7 and have the benefits of Win8.
