Run Windows 8 with a Classic Shell because W8 is a fucking atrocity.
Are you using Windows 8 at work?
@Kassad: The cloud thing sounds cool. I hate how they try so hard to make it look cool. The half second lag when switching cells in Excel is a hindrance.
Excel 2013 is an atrocity too.
Windows 8.1 is actually pretty good. I recommend it. It's way faster and has far fewer glitches than W7. Office 2013 is really good too and allows you to keep documents synced to the cloud so you never lose anything. Nothing else really changed from Office 2010 except that it looks flatter (layout etc are all the same).
I couldn't disagree more.
I'd be willing to pay a decent amount of money to get my home PC down to Win 7 because Win 8 is such a disaster. I got Win 8.1 a week or so ago, but it still sucks.
My (technologically uneducated) opinion is Win7. I bought a laptop recently that had Win8.1 and the user interface was terrible, and the machine's performance was pretty poor. I switched to Win7 and performance became much better, and the good old user interface was a huge relief on my nervous system. Your mileage may vary though.
Windows - 32 or 64 bit?
Windows 8.1, when not using the Metro screen and apps, is very very similar to Windows 7. For everyday use, the differences are negligible. If your laptop has a more powerful processor then Excel 2012/2013 will run at the same efficiency on both versions of Windows. Otherwise, things may slow down on Windows 8.1.
