    I'm looking into getting a new pc and I was wondering which operating system you would recommend for a gamer. Looking into factors such as general stability and optimisation, so I guess really it's between Windows 7 or 8. Any help appreciated!

    yeah windows 7 unless you have a touch screen monitor.

    You can turn turn win8 back to something that resembles win7 desktop. But why when win7 is still working well?

    I was asking the same question when i was looking for a new computer, I had windows 8 for less than a day before changing to 7. for me at least everything about 7 is better unless you have a touch screen.
