What do you think looks better, and feels better?
Windows 8

EDIT: I've been looking online, and it seems like it's shaping up to be Windows 8, Mac OS X Lion, and Linux Umbutu. Linux is actually stepping their game up this generation, and almost compares to Windows 7.

Windows 8 is annoying if you don't have a touch screen PC/Laptop/Tablet.
But if you do Windows 8 is better (Apart from the tiles... I dislike them)

I'll take OS X Lion any day of the week. They'll have to pry this Macbook from my cold, dead hands. Fact.

Plain old gamer :)

@corbs OS X is superior to windows in every way, however they are expensive o.O
I wish I could put OS X Lion on my laptop :/

I have Mac OS X Lion and Windows 7 both on my Macbook. Have to have Windows to run the Pro Motion program. So I grin and bear it.

Yeah, remember, Windows 8 is cheaper, and you don't need a touch screen. Mac OSX is more expensive.

Actually OS X is cheaper... a lot cheaper. But I'm guessing you mean Mac's.
Windows 8 is a hassle to use with a mouse though, especially with the tiles being the first thing it gives you :/ Apart from that it's not bad.
They should have jut made Windows 8 for tablets though.

Just to clear the air I am not an Apple fanboy before anyone says it.
In all truthfulness I actually prefer Ubuntu Linux.

I haven't tried Windows 8 yet, but I don't think I could stand it. And I know that is the case for OS X. It simply doesn't behave the way I want my OS to in any way and there is now way to change parts of it to do so.

Instead, and I know this wasn't really the question asked but I can't resist, I'd vote for Ubuntu Linux.

Though I use two variants off it, Lubuntu and Xubuntu, myself since they're faster and has much less unnecessary visual bling-bling : http://www.xubuntu.org/
Kubuntu is nice too : http://www.kubuntu.org/

(Would have embedded a video if I knew how to...)

@shingi_70 I haven't tried the latest one but I'll do so now. Sorry, it's just that when I used it it was almost unbearable. Also very true, all Lion did was add and IOS type dashboard.

OSX Lion looks too much like iOS, it seems like Apple is trying to find a single "look" to their OS platforms (just like Microsoft is doing with it's "Metro" interface).

Haven't used a Windows OS later than XP (which I hate with a passion), but I love my Lion iMac. Still has some kinks that need to be worked out, but it's pretty sweet all around.

I have a Windows 7 touchscreen laptop and I want to upgrade to Mac OS X Lion. But once I heard about Windows 8, I'm having second thoughts. I've had a long history with Windows, but I want a Mac badly... god this is hard...
