For me, it's 10 Lite.
?? Did I miss something? I realize that M$ hasn't actually made a "Lite" version, but has someone slimmed some of the BS out? Or do you just mean Shut Up 10 or whatever it is called and the other things mentioned here in this thread?
No, Alaric meant that Windows 8 = Windows 10 Lite.
Lite as in "without all the useless crap"/"without spyware" ?
That's what virtual machines are forSo to use W8 I would have to buy it, buy Media Center for an additional $40, install a third party program to emulate 7, then either spend the time finding and turning off the bits I don't like or installing more third party software to do it for me. Or I can just install W7 and call it a day. I'm not seeing any benefits inherent in W8 over 7 except a couple years of support on the back end. If I'm missing some advantage other than distant update support I'm open to education. Metro stopped being an issue when 8.1 allowed booting directly to desktop.
