When I need a computer, if there isn’t something a hellova lot better than windows 8, I will be an Apple user.
Windows 8 is a lot like Obamacare. A useless piece of crap that they think they can BS people into liking.

FWIW, I replaced my 10 year old XP laptop last year (Dec 2012, actually).
ONLY Windows 8 was available.
I purchased a Mac Mini, installed Parallels and bought a Windows 7 ‘system builder’ operating system on Amazon.
I am extremely happy with my choice. I actually DO have to deal with clients with documents in Pages and Keynote - now it’s no problem.
Windows 7 programs open in a window (I have two monitors) and I can copy/paste from Pages to Word and vica-versa.
It’s fantastic.
I really hate Windows 8 but am very happy with Windows 7.
The bonus is now I have my text messages (iMessages, actually) popup on the Mac Dock. I’ve never been as productive.
Thought you might like to know there are options...
Win v3.1 and 95 are better than the POS-8. Go with Win-7 Pro 64x.
That said, I was over at the Apple Store in Lancaster, PA, all day with my sister, who just bought an iMac 27’ quad core i5, 3.4GHz, 1TB HD, 32Gb RAM, and the machine is drop dead FAST and sleek. And Apple displays a first class product, with first class salespeople, and treats everyone very nicely. Sure it’s 2x what a comparable HP PC is, but it’s an amazing product. I’m too heavily invested in Win-7 Pro 64x to switch, and that OS is just what I want and need, since 2009.
