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button is more deeply "hidden" - and, if users were used to using the "Start" menu, that's quite different as it's been replaced by the Windows Start screen.

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.

Metal transmits heat and cold better than vinyl does, so a metal window frame would heat up quicker and hotter than a vinyl window frame. That temperature change might also affect the insulating properties of the window.
