    Gonna be purchasing a new 14 when the new models are officially released. Still deciding on sticking with tried and true Win 7, or taking the jump to Win 8 now and hope Blue does something great. Any opinions?

    Thanks

    Bah, was just forced to go to Win 8 with a new laptop and just ended up rigging it so that it's as close to Win7 as possible. I vote go for Win7.

    Windows 7 for everyday use. I'll only use 8 if its a touch screen device.
