BTW, apparently I'm not the only here that doesn't like 8. |

Oh, and I refuse to upgrade to a OS that I have to modify to look like the OS I'm currently using, for neglible benefits. I'll be using Windows7 as long as it is properly supported.

Which means you can't upgrade because it doesn't look like what you are using now. So you would not have been able to go from a CLI to a GUI because the GUI doesn't look like the CLI. I know you didn't mean that, but the idea is stupid.

Which benchmarks? And compatibility settings isn't "messing" with anything. It's a couple of clicks. Fun, related story:
A friend writes games in C++ in his spare time. He bought some software for this in 1996 I think it was, which he still uses. About a year ago he bought a laptop with Windows 7 and bitched about how he had to run the program from 1996 in compatibility mode and as an admin for it to work. I argued he was being retarded.
