Odin

I switched from Windows XP to Windows 7 only a year ago. Windows XP was the first operating system that I used myself for an extended period of time, and it took quite a bit of pressure from a friend of mine to get me to finally switch to 7. However, his arguments were too strong, whereas mine were lacking, so I had no choice but to comply. Ever since I first set up the dual boot, and started using Windows 7, merely as a test, to see how I like it, I have not gone back to Windows XP - even once, even when there was a good reason to. The fact that I added 2 more GB of RAM to my existing 2GB, back when I was considering switching, also helped with my decision. However, I do not believe that Windows 8 is good in any way. I certainly hope that it will not become a standard any time soon, and statistics seem to show that it is not being adopted nearly as fast as XP. It is more comparable to Vista, if anything. I cannot wait to see what Microsoft comes up with after Windows 8.
