7 is better
So is there any downside to buying the OEM vs retail version of Windows 8.1 other than the license being married to my motherboard? Don't tell me 7 is better because I'm getting it only to play games with; all other computer work I like doing better in Linux.

Thanks you ing sexuals
I own both. Use both daily. 8 is on my fragbox and 7 is on my desktop. There is no contest. 8 is much better than 7. Better resource management, a much improved control panel, and faster performance in boot times as well as gaming.
People like 7 because they're scared of metro, which is easily disabled.
There is literally nothing Win7 does that's better than 8. Not that 7 is bad, but 8 is a more refined version of 7.
Bro, are you gonna take advice from the guy who thought GTA4 was a great game vs us?
Wow, who the liked GTA 4? That was worse than passing a kidney stone. Niko Bellic drives like an Asian woman.
GTA 4 on PC is sick. One of the most modded games in history for good reason.
Also, does anyone want to actually debate why 7 is better than 8? Just curious. 8 has better memory management and is much faster. Not sure what 7 does that 8 doesn't do.
But 7 is fast enough without having to deal with the ty aspects of Windows 8. Nobody actually cares about memory management unless they knew what they were looking for.
"Fast enough"
Not an enthusiast, I see.
Furthermore, lack of a feature is not a feature. Why wouldn't you want a faster OS if you could have it?
You also didn't address the vastly superior task manager.
Like what?the ty aspects of Windows 8.
They removed the Start button
Tbh I didn't notice much of a different between 8.1 and 7 a few weeks ago at a friend's house, he used the old style desktop w/start menu, ran great. I may just buy it when I build a pc for my daughter for Christmas
Why would I not care about memory management and give a about the Windows 8 UI when I already said I'm using it strictly for gaming? I'd be basically using Windows 8.1 like a console, and booting back to Linux whenever I wanted to do anything other than shoot s up and .
Was it modded to not have ed up controls and a sucking storyline?
Reading is fun.People like 7 because they're scared of metro, which is easily disabled.
8.1 eliminated any legitimate complaints. I upgraded from 7 and have no complaints, but at the same time no advantages either.
Even if 8.1 did not address the start menu being removed, it literally takes 5 minutes to get acclimated to the new setup.
