Windows 7 revamped the entire user interface to become more simple and efficient. From an administer's point of view as well as a user's, this is the best OS from Microsoft since XP and for both home and business it is great.
I used to use Windows, mainly because of it's low cost, but now I use Mac since it's so much less buggy and a lot faster. Windows regularly crashed and messed up stuff I had installed.
I can download and load up the pre-release version of windows 8 from microsoft's website. I do think windows 8 works great if you have a tablet, but I'm less enthused about using it on my desktop.
This OS is Windows ME all over again, unless you have a touch screen computer, this OS is clunky and not meant for use.
