Cubase 7 & Windows 8?

I’m keenly interested in this thread, i’m ready to jump from XP, gotta take advantage of more ram.

I’m encouraged about win 8 in this thread, it makes me want to go that route, but every IT guy I’ve talked to around town, (3 or 4) say to stay far away from win 8. Granted, I haven’t really nailed anyone of them down to give specifics on why.

Is it just the uproar over the missing start button? If the UI is the only problem, I’m excited to go with something that is leaner on resources, I can learn a new UI.

Go safe with win 7 or jump to 8?

Anyone else have positive or negative experiences with win 8?
