Windows 8 upgrade reasons?

[tc983x]

i absolutely hate windows 8, lol. i had it tried it, hated it uninstalled it. Win7 64.
Anyway, i was wondering what limitations are on win7 64 that have been increased on 8. like xp only supporting a certain amount of ram compared to the newer os.
im running a 4770k 32gigs of ram, with Nvidia Titans sli. i would like to take full advantage of my hardware.

Windows 7 or 8 could both take full advantage of your hardware. Unless you're planning on having 8 TB of RAM (the upper limit of both), you won't have any real functional difference between 7 and 8, save newer versions of DirectX that are 8+ only.

Where are you getting that limit of 8 TB ram? In Win7 home premium x64 it only uses up to 16GB of ram (Win7 pro and above allow up to 192GB of ram), in Windows 8 standard x64 the limit is 128GB, which goes up to 512GB for pro and enterprise.
