    8.1 with start is back plus, isnt bad at all, whats annoying with windows 8 is MS took a step back, no aero (apart from the transparent taskbar) makes the os look a bit dated imo, it took longer to boot to desktop, compared to 7, the hidden menus are annoying, it doesnt even come standard with games, you have to download solitaire from the windows store (seriously), on the plus side there are alot of good free stuff on the windows store though

    Really?

    My laptop boots in 9 seconds (From power on to desktop) vs Windows 7's 23 seconds.. Windows 7 is even worse in that I still have to wait sometime before applications open vs 8.1 that opens em once I see the desktop.

    What's your laptops specs? My PC (from Boot to Desktop) is around the 30 seconds.

    SSD's will always boot faster ( i tried it on a desktop fx8320 with 8 gigs of ram and a 1TB WD Blue)

    True but Windows 7 doesn't seem to know what to do with it.

    Did you change your boot from UEFI to Legacy perhaps?
