Only if they added the start button with it's original functionality and removed that stupid ass metro screen would I call this the best OS ever. But sadly it's not. UI ruins it for most people. They don't care about tech specs(which benchmarks state that windows 7 does better by a bit so suck it). They care about functionality, which Windows 8 is a disaster at. I'm mostly pissed off at the registry of it, you can't edit it unless you go in a stupid mode after restarting your computer a thousand times.
I still deem Windows 7 to be better. But it's just that to me Windows 8 looks a bit better, anti-aliasing maybe? I don't know but it's horse stuff and I like it.
