X5 and Windows 8??

[lbuttery]

I would usually recommend going with the latest OS and getting a PC that was built for that OS

I, personnaly have some doubts about my not liking the Win 8 GUI based on all the negative reviews I have been reading

BUT.... I haven't used it yet either

so it would probably be best if you went somewhere and tried Win 8 and Win 7 and make up your own mind

I'm not in the market for a PC yet and probably won't be for another year or two - I'll decide then
