Why all of you want to use Windows 7 instead of Windows 8? I mean, Windows 8(.1) is much faster bootwise etc. so why go with Windows 7?

I can't stand Metro, I want my start button back. I can't find any of the old menus unless I google it, want me to keep going? The OS is a mess, every update changes the UI because of all the documented customer complaints. I'm all for innovation and faster performance, except when it destroys the UI.
Maybe I'm alone, but I want Windows 7 on this thing.

With update 1 we should see even more improvements. One thing that I find interesting is the idea of using the metro start screen as a launcher controlled with a remote control, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZE2AFb9...e=youtu.be
Thats how my windows 8 setup is. I have a harmony 200 mapped with mce keyboard keys and have a button mapped to bring me back to the start menu. the numbers are mapped to mouse movements and clicks so I can atleast start a netflix movie, Although it takes a while. Works great to launch xbmc.
