I only went to W8 because of MS changing licensing for W7
I had a non OEM standalone version (unlimited installs) but they later changed it to a 10x install limit.
Due to various reasons I exceeded that limit and the OS was disabled ($380) down the drain. (now coasters) They did it to my Vista install as well. GRRRRR!
Now I have had to disable W8.1 updates because of incomplete or failed updates.
This is a much more dangerous (incomplete updating) situation than a well protected (stable) XP system or any stable OS for that matter.
The main thing to me is the software/hardware, if it works, fine.
Protecting my sensitive data via a virtual machine with AV and ETC...? No problems so far...
