I was extremely happy with Windows 8, especially Windows 8.1. Never had any real issues, OS was looking good, flexible and adjustable. If you wanted you could make it look and feel exactly as Windows 7. I didn't do that, for me the user interface was well working, clear and easy to understand.
I have to admit I liked Vista, too. It worked like a dream for me. Something that might explain why I belong to minority that in fact liked both Vista and Windows 8 could be the fact that I do not use any tweakers, optimizers, cleaners and other snake-oil products. I let Windows take care of itself, only using Windows native tools to maintain and customize it.

Hi,
Too many bells and whistles to my taste.yes, I too liked Vista. So many outcries about it. I couldn’t understand. I felt it was leaps and bounds above win xp.
I'm more of a mean and lean W7 guy for a desktop OS.
Happy with W10 even though I really have no use for most of these apps it comes with it is a step beyond what W7 can do for sure.
Cheers,
I didn't have much experience with Vista, just didn't have good enough HW for it. By the time I upgraded computer W7 was in although tried it on an Athlon single core and it didn't work any worse than XP. in couple of month I scored a late beta W7 and switched over.
Similarly I run so much maligned Millenium without any problems. W8 I tried and alpha version but it was too bad to use even as second OS. First RTM of W8 was good enough and after a while it became main OS, 8.1 was even better but short lived as W10 became available. Run every single insider build and still on Skippy. W7 I still have in dual BOOT for several reasons. As a "spare", for games working only on it and to save space on W10 disk. Wish I could run XP too.
