Trying to decide on what os to go with

I hate windows 8 tiles and stuff but I hear there's a shell you can use

I'm really only considering using windows 8 for the extra security, faster load time and newer os

I'm leaning towards just staying with windows 7 but what do you guys think

Win 8 has no better security than Win 7 bro. In fact Win 8 or 8.1 is just Win7 with a new User Interface...aka the tiles. Both will recieve the free upgrade to Win 10 (if desired) and Win 7 will continue to get Windows Updates till 2020.

That sounds terrible.

So do you recommend just stick with windows 7?
