I can safely say that Windows 8 isn't half bad as a gaming OS. All of my limitations are due to my cheap hardware. I had to skim wherever I could because I built my rig when I was in college so the budget was pretty tight. I would have used Ubuntu but games weren't coming out on it then. Since I had also just picked up a new laptop, I got a discount on Win 8.

Since it was already $40 at the time, my $25 discount made it 15 bucks. So I saved 92.5% on my OS by taking the plunge with Win 8. I was very concerned but - like I said - the budget was tight.

My new job does let me go ahead and go back to 7 for $10 but I've already got a complicated system of programs and file paths that reverse upgrading (because I do agree that 7 is superior to 8 so actually it's not a downgrade) would just not be worth the time and effort.
