Z3 sony laptop update to windows 8?

I usually do hardware/software programming on my laptop all the software i use run in both windows 7 and 8... Any reason to upgrade to windows 8??

Yes please upgrade. It is much much faster and leaner. Battery life and performance will increase. I loved Windows 7 very much but now I can't even think about going back. Now it feels old.

One note is you MUST download Classic Shell. I do not use Metro at all. That is the one drawback that everyone criticizes about windows 8. They say it sucks for that reason. But Classic Shell fixes that.

Cool will give it a try
