Windows Blue was the codename for Windows 8 I believe.

I've been running Blue for a while.

Is 8.1 considered blue? or do you still have a machine running the original 8?

Yeah they only way I am switching to 8 or 8.1 is if it is given to me for free.

I can barely tell the difference between 7 and 8.1, so am perfectly happy using either. I'd pick 8.1 for the faster boot time. Other than that, I find them near identical (once you change a few settings to get rid of the annoying new features, like the charms bar)

Boot times for me have actually been pretty close. I think 7 might actually still be winning but I never used a stopwatch to time it so I can't say for sure...

No real difference for me because of the applications installed. SQL Server 2014 with Reporting Services, Visual Studio 2013, etc. Once you have that kind of stuff, the boot time of the OS is not important.

My 8.1 is so fast on the one desktop and a few seconds slower on the better one. Not sure why the difference.
