Windows is built for backwards compatibility, whatever the cost. Once you install Service Pack 1 you're good to go in my experience.

Nah. I still use Win 7 SP1 on my laptop (which I only use for internet browsing) with updates completely disabled and it's never been an issue...

I think the biggest issue is software developers dropping support for Win 7/8. I'm starting to see this already.

I've found virtual machines to work pretty well for this use case actually: far more convenient than dual-booting, and not as error-prone as Wine...
