I think I will stick it out with W7 and wait for Steam OS and then side load Steam OS for games. Keep Windows for browsing the web. Unless Steam OS can do just as much as W7 then I will make a complete switch. 

I will probably keep W7 and dual boot Steam OS (might get win 8 to see how it is but still in a separate boot section)

Just upgrade to 8.1 when 8.2 comes out you can just upgrade for free

I  have GameServer`s And VOIP servers the only price is that you have fun on them.

Why dont you just run win7 or win8 and virtualize steam os? imo that would be allot easier

I don't think that the PC in my signature is capable of doing that. Most probably the RAM would be a bottleneck.

 

And I could run Steam OS off a USB drive too. As a side note I have enough space to install OS's xD. I might give a try to Win 8 by the end of next week.

This would be funny if the updates are not free... so your going to wait for win 9?

There wont be a 9 imo i think microsoft is going to be like mac and send updates in place of a total upgrade.

If this fixes most of the issues in WIndows, I'd get it!
