I love windows 7, its been very reliable and free
but I'm building a new gaming system soon
and will need an OS.
Im open to the metro, but I hate advising.
Especially on my OS, it would be like someone coming into your house and putting flyers up.
Im leaning towards 8 because of the latest direct x and SSD support.
I'll probably download a start menu to make it more windows 7 like.
But id like to know if windows 8 has any restrictive or annoying features that would affect my freedom to use my computer however I like.
For example, dose the metro have any advertising in it that I can not remove?
Dose it force me to use any programs, browser, media player, etc?
Can I uninstall any of these programs I don't won't?
Can I install and use whatever programs I like? (Provided there windows compatible)
Dose windows 8 have comparability issues?
Can you see Microsoft sneaking any unwonted updates/features on to 8, like what was going to happen with the Xbox One with that DRM stuff?
The most important concern in my criteria is freedom to use my OS in what ever way I like.
Like windows 7
If I installed some kind of start menu and removed the metro would is basically be the same as 7?
Sorry, a lot of questions but would appreciate answers to as many as possible.
What do you think?
