As modern operating systems are such large pieces of software, it's very difficult to say one is "better" than another. However, Windows 8 has a number of advantages; it consumes less resources - and so PCs run faster, it boots much more quickly, Explorer, File copying and task management have been greatly improved, the introduction of the "modern" Windows user interface has greatly improved support for touch screen devices.
On the other hand, shutting down Windows 8 is slightly more awkward - the shutdown button is more deeply "hidden" - and, if users were used to using the "Start" menu, that's quite different as it's been replaced by the Windows Start screen.

∙ 8y agoA lot of people dislike Windows 8, and are trying to avoid it, often by using Windows 7 instead. In fact, Windows 8.0 was such a flop that Microsoft had to create 8.1, in which they fixed some bugs, and put back the start menu. 8.1 was met with better success, but people still don't like the "tablet" style system, or the greater internet dependence as much. For this reason, Windows 10 is said to be more the "desktop" style again, like Windows 7 was. Perhaps it is better in some ways, but in general, I think it is not.

The Best Replacement Windows for Your Home?
If you live in a region where cold weather reigns in winter, consider spending a little more money on replacement windows and choose windows with high insulation values. The U-factor of a window is the measure of thermal conductivity, or how much heat a window allows in. The R-factor of a window is the measure of resistance to heat. The higher the R value and the lower the U value, the better insulated the window. Choose your windows based on the values of the whole window rather than parts of the window. The extra money you spend on quality windows will come back to you in energy savings.
