Basically I am putting a computer together for my robot. It will be a stationary animation sidekick type of thing.
What I am wondering is about which OS should I use 7 or 8? I am coming from XP and I like the look of 7. Is there a big difference of the options like voice recognition and stuff that EZ-B would use that I should pick one over the other? I am thinking of 7 PRO, or 8Pro..
Here is the kit I am looking at getting.
Computer Kit.
Any thoughts would be great.
There is no difference between the 2 as far as voice recognition etc. is concerned.
Windows 8 is better on power consumption if that's a concern although in your scenario I don't expect it will be.
Either is going to be fine, personally I would base it on cost.
I have windows 7 64bit and I love it.
If you gonna spend money, might as well purchase the newest product on the market ( windows 8.1), It will be a learning curve, but coming from XP, shouldn't be much of an issue.
