Windows 7

As far as up to date goes, with 8 just around the corner (i.e. another year from now).

Eh, I didn't actually pay for Windows 7 so I'm in the clear.

I can't really imagine someone would want Windows 8. It especially sucks for power users.

I am interested in it, and I am a power user. Dual-booting is useful for many a thing .

Oh and by the way, invest in a power surge protector. You really gotta be careful!

Windows 7 is the newest = up to date.
I'm considering [strike]pirating[/strike] getting Windows 8, with Windows Vista to Windows 7 you can just do an upgrade thing that keeps every file, user and program, so i guess that will be the same for Windows 8.
And they need to get rid of those horrible apps, the only way you can close them is by going onto task manager...

you could have got an external like the one u use for ur legally obtained console games and install an OS quickly on there. then copy the stuff onto the external then format the pc. ah if only we had plutonium and could travel at 88Mph
by the way, both OS rock but 7 rocks more
