As a Mac user and prospective IT employee, I like Windows 7. In my career I'll inevitably have to use Microsoft software and I think Windows 7 is the best OS they've produced. It's user-friendly and stable, and looks pretty good, too. The best thing about Windows is that it's the dominant OS so always has by far the most software available. I've neve ...[text shortened]... h a tablet, forget it. No one likes touching a vertical monitor, as user feedback shows.
I have a Toshiba C660 D laptop and just like Russ it is a
windows 7 / 64 bit.

The OS is very good. I have it a year
and have no complaints. I was asked recently
by PC World ( the shop where I bought the laptop )
if I wanted an upgrade to Windows 8 and I declined
for two reasons.

1. I am unemployed at the moment and don't have the money.

2. What I have right now is great and I really don't see
the need for an upgrade. I am not technically minded and
will probably never work in IT but if the only difference
between 7 and 8 is touchscreen technology then I
would not be bothered to change.

Yeah, I run Windows 7 64-bit also.

No problems at all.

I plan on staying with 7, just like I stayed with XP when Vista came out.

I plan on upgrading my graphics card to something newer than the stone age graphics I have now (onboard ATI Radeon 3100), something recent, which means I'll have to upgrade my power supply as well (what I have now can only support what is in the computer now), probably to a 750w or so. But I will prolly still stay with Windows 7.

Thanks to all of those who've helped persuade me to stick with Windows 7. Although I may take a look at the W8 Pro Surface if it ever gets here ....
