So, I'm having some issues with Visual Studio settings. I've been trying for 2 days to figure out what I need to change and have had no luck (basically, it's not starting IIS Express). I uninstalled VS / removed registry keys for settings / config files / etc. At this point, I'm leaning toward doing a clean windows install and just starting over. I haven't done one since I bought this computer so it's long overdue anyway.
My question is this - since this is on the table, should I stick with Windows 7 or go with 8? Cost is not a factor. Via the Dreamspark campus agreement, I can get 8 at no cost since I'm a student.
Pros / cons?
Thanks.
Windows 7 / 8

8.1 has much better support for the Windows 7 style UI (unlike 8.0).
It's slightly faster and more memory efficient than Win7.
In general, if you're not using the metro UI or metro apps, the difference is very small. I have Win8.1 on all of my PCs now but I never use the metro stuff.

I would go with Windows 8.1 also. It is very stable for me and works well with everything I ever tried putting on there.
