Recommended.
Installation wasn't as easy as it should of been because I rubbed some of the ink off the product key somehow so I spent a considerable amount of time trying to decipher it. After I had written down the key Installation was fairly simple and easy to follow. I then upgraded to Windows 8.1 and installed all the drivers without a fuss.
The user interface was very strange to use since it didn't have a regular start menu but I was able to get used to it fairly quickly. The most inconvenient thing for me was having to go through many menus in order to power down the machine but this was soon fixed by an update. Others may not be able to get used to the new interface as quickly as I did so keep that in mind.
A year after using this I found that most problems were fixed by updates and now that I've been using the Windows 10 Tech preview I can say that you should wait for that instead of upgrading to this since it's much more familiar.
I found it very easy to install. I understand W8 as I have a lot of IT experience. Its all about customising the start screen to the things you do every day and removing anything else. If you want something and you don't have a live tile for it, just type "control panel" as an example and up it pops. Easy to buy, install and use!
You could wait for Windows 9, or try this, 64bit means you can have lot's of ram.
First built my PC with this OS, everything loaded the drivers without needing any from disc I think.
Older hardware you might have trouble finding the software to use.
It is quick loading on a normal hard drive.
Not tested a SSD.
However, the product should at least be thoroughly described as what it is, Windows 8.1 to avoid confusion in the future for those looking to run the original Windows 8 despite the obvious perks of the upgrades provided in 8.1
Maybe great on a touch screen but with a mouse and keyboard you have to ask the question what were they thinking?
I think the answer is "lets get people to buy Surface not Ipads".
It is fast but not nice to use.
But yeah its windows 8 really, need I say more?
It is not too different from 7, people need to get over it damn.
But IMHO wait until Windows 10 comes out then but that, I have used the technical preview and it is great.
Plus you get the start menu back, what more do you want?!
