I'm not going to switch until forced, but I wonder if 8 has fixed the huge bugs of 7?
Specifically, 7 pretty much eliminated long filenames and multiple file handling.
Example: In XP, I could load up 20 or 30 JPG files in PaintShop, or 20 or 30 text files in Kedit, for quick processing and comparison. This worked perfectly no matter how long the filenames were.
But in Win 7 I can generally load only 3 or 4 at a time, depending on the actual filenames. Seems to be a 256-char limit on the total length of all filenames you're trying to load.
This is hugely inconvenient for both work and play.
