Windows 7.

Unfortunately, Windows 8 does not have a classic start menu (let alone a Windows 7 style start menu).

How many people are Tech Savvy? Being a former system and network administrator I have learned that many people lack even basic computer knowledge to an appalling level.

I meant mainly the people that visit this site, people who actually care about and work with tech. Trust me, I own a repair and custom build shop.

Built-in virtual drive support being a major new feature(just double click a .iso and it's auto mounted), the new search feature also blows Windows 7 out of the water.
