So you would advise is 8Pro is a "safe" upgrade? My laptop has Win 7 home and is very snappy. My desktop is the one that has Vista Home. I have been debating for a while now on finally upgrading but again, I know Microsoft typically isn't too trust worthy when releasing new upgrades. I wish I had the extra cash when Win 7 Pro was still on the market, I would have ran that until the next century.
Nice to hear though from a fellow user that Win 8 is a little snappier than 7.
