So many to to choose from, almost couldn't make up my mind.
Stay away from windows 8 or you'll POUR a beer on it!
Windows 8 sucks I tried one with it for three weeks took it back and got my money back and found one with Windows 7
I downloaded a program to make 8 act like 7 but haven't figured out how to make it work right.
I am (was) using XP. So why not 8? I don't know 7, so I shouldn't hate 8 too much. Maybe. The only reason I am getting windows is because MAC want run my CAD programs. Sucks.
Going to Best Buy tomorrow and look see.
If I could explain it technically, I would..........but, since I can't, I won't. I had never tried 7, but did try 8 and did not like it at all. Windows 7 is more like XP Pro and
I'm told Windows 7 Ultimate is the cats meow. I'll vouch for Windows 7 Ultimate, but not Windows 8. Then again, I'll stand on my not so sophisticated soap box and tell
it the best I can. When you can't dazzle 'em with your brilliance, you got to baffle 'em with your B.S. I just love your flag (signature).......still.

I finally got a laptop yestiddy. Viao in a metal case on sale (ultra book). I7 Intel proc, 8gig ram, 1T hdd, Win 8.1, Touchscreen. I configured sys to boot to desktop just like XP. I made a folder for shortcuts on the desktop. Until I get use to 8.1, I will just put common stuff used in the shortcut folder after I fill the taskbar with shortcut icons. No windows 7 systems available. If I get too pizzed, I will take it back. Have to Jan 25.
My new puter runs Win 8 and I am just about to the point of doing a "format C" and buying a copy of Win 7.
if you do go to window 7 make sure you go window 7 ultimate !!!here's some info on it !!!Quote:

My wife is needing a new laptop and I'm really trying to find 7, but like CP said, you can't find 7 anymore.

If you know XP you will pick up Windows 7 quickly. Windows 8 is NOT an easy transition from XP. I replaced my old PC w/ XP with a new one running 7 and am VERY happy.Quote:

If you have the bucks, a iMac is really the best. Beautiful 27" screen with all the "stuff" to let you enjoy your time surfing the fishing forums...... but almost 2 K?
You can get the imported window junkers for a couple hundred bucks, but remember? you get what you pay for!
