Got a new SSD for my primary desktop workstation, and I was thinking it would be a good time to do a clean OS install, so the question is what OS. The choices are Windows 7 or Windows 8. Linux is a great idea but I don't have time to learn new software for every damn thing I do.

I don't really do any heavy lifting with it except occasionally transcode video for my paysites.

I also have a lot of games in my Steam account and I have this dream that someday I will have time to play them, hopefully before I am too old to enjoy them.

So mostly its webmail, spreadsheeting, IM and quickbooks.

I tried windows 8 and it was pretty much unimpressive in every imaginable way. An arbitrary learning curve with no payoff, whose slogan should be "do everything you do now, just with a greater degree of difficulty, uncertainty and clunkiness"

So I am leaning heavily towards sticking with Windows 7.

What do you guys think?
