If you already have 7 I wouldn't say it is worth buying. If you are doing a new build and need an OS there is no reason not to grab it since startisback can fix many of its issues.

Depends most of the bugs have been fixed now I believe and startisback is great if you want the start menu back.

I like Windows 8 more than Windows 7. It is way faster and with Shell Start Menu, there is no need to use the Metro Interface. Also I haven't used the Metro Interface in months. And I have never ever had a Windows 8 blue screen. NEVER!

personal preference, unless they don't have a SP1 yet, then I'd not recommend it

Unless you're on vista or XP, no.

 

Windows 8 is fine as long as you have something like startisback, start8, or classicshell.

Get windows 8.1 faster and has more features. Just get startisback or similar and forget about it.

I'm running WIndows 8.1 Pro on my desktop and Windows 7 on all of my laptops... I was hesitant about making the switch especially on my primary gaming machine but I'm actually super comfortable with Windows 8 now and I've had no issues with it at all. I went for the pro version because it includes Hyper-V and I'm able to run a bunch of Linux VMs for development testing. The one piece of software that I have which says it doesn't officially support Windows 8.1 is a piece of audio software and it has actually had no issues at all... the lack of official support is merely a precaution.
