Avoid Windows 8 like the plague. Unless you are a devout masoginist do not buy a computer with windows 8.

That being said, IF you have to purchase a computer make sure it comes with Windows 8 PROFESSIONAL (NOT the home edition) you will then have downgrade rights to Windows 7.

This coming from myself, as a 30 year veteran IT professional. Just sayin.

In the market for a new computer also, why is Windows 8 to be avoided? I mainly want it for storing photos, surfing the internet.
