There is some legitimacy to using 8 over 7 because of the performance gains.

I upgraded to windows 8 last December when the PRO version was 39.99 (a great deal) and I'm very happy with its performance. I hate Metro interface but I fixed that by buying Start 8. So i have the familiar UI from windows 7 with all the performance and security enhancements of windows 8.
