Scratch

If you like the way it looks then yeah, but it seems to be going back in time, to open many applications you have to type in a better looking command line 
I would suggest Mint or some other Debian based OS. Check out distrowatch for some others 

Okay 
If you want a lightweight os try kubuntu or xubuntu

I just saw a advertisement on tv about Windows 8 and it said (I guess) that it will be released on the 28th of OCTOBER 2012! I can't wait!

Sorry I made a mistake and forgot it was October 28th, 2012.

Windows 8 is hugely over hyped don't even bother looking at it 

Eh, I hear about the whole "It's faster" thing, but the interface and the "certification" is reason alone not to buy it.

The problem is that Microsoft CAN close what was an open platform. The certification process is fine for CONSOLES, since thats pretty much the QA for new xbox titles, but in a platform like this, it's not the case. You don't need to put N+ through the same process as Halo 3.

Bear in mind that the windows marketplaces also doesn't let UK users buy skyrim, since that violates the "no 18+ content", and thats a problem since some computers with W8 ONLY let you buy from there.

I'm not interested right now in W8. Hopefully I'll be able to downgrade to 7 when I get my Gaming PC on christmas. 

Okay. I'll probably try out a lightweight one on there before fully installing. 

It's a very friendly and easy-to-use interface, and it boots like 5 trillion times faster...

I don't really like the look of 8, but it will probably perform better. I think it has been optimized for tablets and smartphones though.

Actually, it's both for mobile and desktop. You can click on a box that says "Desktop" and it changes it to a desktop view basically like Windows 7. I kind of like how you can put it in a mobile or desktop view. But I don't think office really has many major changes, or the desktop. I think it's sort of like Windows 7/mobile combined in one.

I kinda want to upgrade.

If you're going to bother 'upgrading', you might as well switch to a Mac

Doesn't (almost) everyone? 

^^Linux Mint or Ubuntu. I'm actually gonna check out Mint soon

Apps can be downloaded from anywhere, just like in previous Windows operating systems, for the x86 version, but not for the ARM version, which is for mobile devices with processors of the ARM architecture.

Yes, but you won't be able to freely distribute "Metro" apps; apps that use features exclusive to Windows 8, outside the app store. All you can do is make a Windows 7 application, which won't be compatible with ARM devices - if you want to develop a mobile app which happens to be rated PEGI 18+ (most ESRB M hit titles), implements a store of sorts (Steam) or simply isn't approved by Microsoft, you're screwed.
