A buddy of mine got a new PC and it had Windows 8 already installed. He had several very annoying issues with it, including two complete lockups that required taking the PC in for service.

He had the dealer replace Windows 8 with Windows 7 and he's a happy camper again. His last PC was using Win XP.

I still use Windows 7. I hope by the time I'm needing a new PC, that the next new OS will resolve the Win 8 issues, much like Win 7 did with Vista.
