April 17, 201213 yr Chances of me even deciding to get any of these are pretty low... i can live with win 7 for now... But if i am to get anything, i'll just get the regular windows 8 one...
April 17, 201213 yr I think I'm sticking with Win 7, I've gone from 2000 to to Vista to 7 and tried the consumer preview of 8 and really didn't like it. Reinstalled Win 7 two days later.
April 17, 201213 yr Well considering my father works at Microsoft and I've had Windows 8 for the last 2 weeks, I won't be getting any of these editions

April 17, 201213 yr I probably won't be getting any of them, they probably cost a lot, and I have yet to get a job http://kh13.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/smiley-neutral.png I still have Vista...
April 17, 201213 yr I tend to wait a while after a new OP has been in the market for a while so that initial bugs can be worked out and general knowledge of its performance has been reviewed. I dont want a repeat of Vista.
April 17, 201213 yr I haven't like what I have seen of 8 at all. Sticking with 7, as I love it. Plus, I couldn't switch to 8 if I wanted to, not enough money for that.
April 18, 201213 yr Windows 8, Pro versions of windows cost twice as much and are purchased by people who not only don't use the 4 or 5 extra features, but don't even know they exist. I might get RT just because it automatically comes with the Microsoft Office programs.
April 18, 201213 yr I'll wait But there is one feature I really love. In Windows 7 they only had multiple language support on the Ultimate version. Windows 8 now has this on all versions, so I can finally smoothly transition between typing in English and Japanese. They are finally making OS's more bilingual friendly ^^

I might get RT just because it automatically comes with the Microsoft Office programs. I think Windows 8 RT is like Windows 7 Starter. How it's really only for pre installs of windows.
