So You Are Buying a Windows PC

I went to a computer store last week to help a man purchase a computer.  He has used Windows, and for various reasons was not ready to switch to an iMac or a Linux computer.  He was looking into a PC running Windows like his old computer -- but newer.

I was struck immediately by one astounding fact:  most of the desktop PC's were sold running Windows 7.  I knew you could "downgrade" but he did not need to.  For a modest price he bought a name brand PC with Windows 7 Premium. 

Unless you are a person who loves to learn, tinker and try new things, consider doing what my friend did.  Buy a PC running Windows 7. 

Windows 8 works, but there is a tough learning curve to it, at least for people with lots of Windows experience.  What you get with the latest version of Windows may not translate into something that is worth it.

Leave a comment if you have an opinion here.  Thanks.
