I hope Windows 7 support will never end, I refuse to put my hands on Windows >= 8

Windows 8.1 isn't that bad. I actually never really see Metro if thats your biggest problem with it.

Everything else (boot time, responsiveness etc.) feels like a direct upgrade from 7 and it works great for me. Did you try it once?

I tried it a couple of times on my mom's pc; I really hate that phone interface (is it called Metro?) because I use a pc so I want a comfortable pc experience. About the performance point I can't say anything, but I'm fine with Win7, so I don't care

First review of Windows 8 I ever saw described it as a brilliant advertisement for Windows 9.

Personally, I can manage it -- knowing about Windows+D, Windows+C and Alt+F4 makes it minimally usable -- but I don't like it.
