It wasn't only "little ole me" that found the 8 RP a bit "buggy"! Eventually I will get around to tossing the 8 Enterprise Developer release on a VM to have a better look at the closer to RTM while not expecting much.
For Vista that version besides late should have seen driver support already available from the OEMs since it was late! But nope! The OEMs lagged way behind the actual release with 8 now seeing the same falling behind on support. Yet MS stressed support be available for 7! And 7 has been referred to at times as the "works right out of the box" OS.
Gee what a time to be buying 7! I paid $320($319.99 without SP1 back then) and now see 7 Ultimate retail for what? $169.99! If you are looking for new and not going with 8 this is the time to find a lot of deals on 7.
