Except for faster bootups, NO. Stay put on Win 7. Especially true if on a laptop.

Its a context menu issue: Right-click is slow or weird behavior caused by context menu handlers
Use this to clean any unnecessary entries and reboot:
ShellExView - Shell Extension Manager For Windows
after much hassle I was finally able to install dot net 3.5 yesterday and if you are running a x64 version don't just start the cmd prompt by typing cmd in run box - instead go through start menu, windows tools and start Command Prompt with Admin Rights from there and make use of the DISM command and the OS install DVD.
Upgraded to Win 8 yesterday
Really enjoying the nice interface..!! Hope VS2010 and VS2012 and SQL Server 2008 R2 works fine. Otherwise I'd have to go back to Win 7.

After upgrading to Win 8 is it safe to delete Windows.old (I guess Win 7 Windows Folder) to delete?

Yes its safe. It just contains your Old OS data in case you need it. If you don't need it then you can delete it without any problems.

Is it possible to use my Android phone as a GPS device to send location to apps like maps etc. via Bluetooth, USB or WiFi?
Also found out that I can't create an adhoc network in Windows8 as the same way in Win7. There is a workaround using CMD though

Thanks. I'll keep it for now them.
Let me keep using the Win 8, and when I'll come across the point that I feel no urge to move back to Win 7, I'll delete it.
So, now if I move back to Win 7, I can retain all the programs and documents as it is like in case of upgrading to Win 8?

I haven'y actually used this feature but I guess you can restore the Documents easily but for Programs and softwares, I am not sure because they make Registry entries also and I am not sure whether that Folder also backup the registry or not.
No issues. Thanks for the help
I don't think I'll go back to Win 7 (as long as my programs runs fine

Yeah No Problem. I am also thinking about going for Windows 8 finally but always dump the idea because of the time I'm gonna spend installing all the softwares and games. You know it would take like 8-10 hours straight from me, and I am a Lazy person when it comes to this kind of work.
