I wish I could install Win7, but my laptop came with Win8...and wouldn't ALLOW me to install Win7 for some reason.

No, but I don't think it would be exactly surprising if they announced a "stream-lined" X-Box One without the Kinect at a hundred or a hundred and fifty dollars less. It seemed the next logical step after they leaked that it wasn't mandatory after all.
I actually kind of respect that they aren't budging on something at least. Although given their feverish backpedalling these last months I suspect it's more a matter of their financial commitments with all those game publishers expecting a wide install base and advertisers expecting to read your personal data avariciously than any backbone on their part.
It's not like people who would've bought my theoretical stream-lined version would buy a Kinect later of their own volition, at least not the one for consoles.

I heard somewhere here it's due to a restriction imposed by hardware or something.
Thank goodness I probably won't use it while at work.

Windows 8 is better in everything. If you're going to argue about the Start button, then just get Classic Shells or Start7 or 8 (forgot which number). I've already installed Classic Shells on our laptop and it has lots of nice features. Really cool program and it makes you feel like your in Windows 7.
But the real reason is because W8 is better at everything, including performance.
