Short answer:

Yes, you could run Linux but I’d advise against it if you’re not experienced with it.....plus you would definitely be “giving up” a lot of Windows apps you need.

Buy a new laptop. It will come with Windows 8. Don’t worry about it. Go to www.dowmload.com and get a copy of “Classic Shell”. It’s free, and it makes Win8 MUCH more friendly; more Win7-like. You get the “Start” button back, etc....will look very familiar.

Check out the Fujitsu’s. Bought one recently for a lady friend and was blown away by how much laptop you get for the money (17” display, 1TB of disk, 6GB RAM, USB 3.0 ports....the works).

Lenova is now on record as saying...We'll set up the laptop with Windows 7 and have Windows on the diskette included.

I have a Lenova with AMD Trinity Laptop with Windows 7 I purchased some months ago....but I don't use it much....and I don't use it on the Web.
