    I agree with sledger, Windows 8 runs faster on an old machine that I also have Windows 7 installed. If you don't want the full ribbon bar on Windows Explorer you can minimize the ribbon and Explorer looks very much like Windows 7.

    The main addition to the desktop environment in Windows 8 is the task bar now exists on multiple monitors, and the icons on the task bar on each monitor match up with the windows that are positioned on each monitor. I think that made sense. Apart from that, the missing Start Button and mandatory updates (in America), I think it's a lot like Windows 7 which is a good thing.
