Yeah about Windows, what's the low down on the 7 vs 8?
I see a new xps from Dell configured with Window 7.

Do you feel like learning a new system that screws mouse navigation in favor of keyboard and touch and have multiple monitors?

Yes - Win8
No - Win7

Is that (still) true? No open source or steam?

What am I giving up for not going with Win8?

Any Win8 defenders here? Promise we won't shoot the messenger.

I suppose the argument for Win8 is that they might fix the issues and it'll be better than Win7 in the long run.

I'm pretty sure Steam runs on Windows 8. Not sure what you mean about open source, that doesn't make sense.

In the video he said Win 8 won't run Steam, or any software not licensed, endorsed, with a stamp of approval from microsoft. I am assuming that means a lot of open source programs.

I think that only applies to win8 on ARM.
Furthermore, I consider that forum views should be fluid in width
