Fairly Sweet. The Laptop SSDs are incredibly swift if you haven't have the opportunity to use one yet. I don't know about 8, but win 7 boots so fast, I thought it was crashing out at the logo screen, but it was actually done.

Almost perfect. Windows 7 = perfect

No.

I'm not convinced Windows 8 is an improvement. Nevertheless, it's newer. Microsoft is already starting to drop support for various updates in Windows 7. Eventually, one will be forced to upgrade. Windows 8 delays that substantially, by about three years.

Did you just say it is not better but it is newer, therefore closer to perfect?

Yes. Sadly, being "up-to-date" when it comes to your OS means you are more likely to get current drivers, security and bug fixes, and software than older OSes, even if the older OS was "better" in some way.
