Windows 7 or Windows 8 (keyboard, mouse, screen, version)

[jayrandom]

I'm looking for a new computer and will likely have the option of choosing between Windows 7 or Windows 8. I've used and liked windows 7, which do you think would be better to get? The computers I'm looking at are not touchscreen computers, so I'm leaning toward W7, but could be convinced either way.

Thanks!

You're bound to get a bunch of people on here who will suggest you stick to Windows 7. I like Windows 8 better for the most part. Don't let the touchscreen/non-touchscreen choice affect your decision about which version of Windows. Windows 8 is a much better experience with a keyboard and mouse than it is with a touchscreen.

Thanks. Should have searched first. That thread was interesting.
