I've got about 20 older machines that I need to reimage that are currently running Windows 7 but I'm contemplating throwing Windows 8.1 onto just to have a consistent experience across all systems in the building, as well as a single image to maintain. I've noticed a lot of Windows Pro tablets seem to run just fine with only 2GB of RAM and Windows 7 and Windows 8 minimum (yes I know its just minimum) requirements are the same as well. System specs are Pentium Dual cores running at 2Ghz with 2GB of RAM. Usage is mostly going to be Microsoft office with minimal multitasking. What do you guys think, go with 8.1 or stick with 7...opinions from a performance perspective...not a dislike or hatred of Windows 8
