Windows 7 was mature when it was released. To a certain extent, it cleaned up many of the things that were broken in Vista. Now Windows 8 comes along and they want you to relearn how to use the computer. Corporate America does not want to have increased educational time. Win 7 works, why change.
With a program to bring the start button, Win 8 is like Win 7 but faster. I have upgraded a few of my XP machines, but why bother with a Win 7 machine. I did with my home theater machine and all sorts of issues cropped up. That's because I was being lazy and tried to avoid a clean install and having to put all the programs back on. I won't do that again.
