It's somewhat painful to use, but whatever compatibility issues will eventually get smoothed out anyway. And for all people’s complaints, guess what? They’ll suck their thumbs and get used to it anyway.

If you’re already on a laptop with Win7, stick to it as long as you can. But if you’re getting a new one, just make the leap already instead of wasting time doing lots of messing around that won’t matter in a years’ time.

there isnt any real benefit to grabbing a win8 laptop, and using that shitty interface bleck.
Grab a win 7 lap, or a win 8 lap and reformat it(should happen anyway to get rid of factory bloatware) and install the os of your choice.
If you dont have a win 7 disk grab one for whatever version of win 7 you have installed on another comp from the interweb and work magic.

Dang, I completely forgot about the bloatware.
Probably some weirder than normal garbage I suppose.

haha that comic don't really work as convincing material but what ever :-)

On that note how is linux codec and player wise? Haven't gotten my head around that yet.

android is a kind of off-shoot of linux on some ways and it works well, although theres no processor as of date that does hi10p 1080p well enough.

as for linux distros themselves, yeah i'm seeing good feedback all over the net, but configuring it may be a PITA for new users.

megido-rev.M:
That would depend on the UI look/feel for the most part.
