    Why would you make an OS that mainly supports touch screens when nobody in their right mind would spend money on a Windows 8 tablet?

    Bill Gates, sir, you have no idea all the pain I have been through trying to swipe a screen THAT SHOULDN'T BE SWIPED.

    At first, I loved it, but now everything launches in Windows 8 mode, and I just want to sit in a corner and cry.

    NOTHING WORKS AHH

    I think I'm just going to deal with it since it can start up in under 20 seconds. :p

    What are your specs? I just built my new one that has:

    i5-3570K OC to 4.0GHz
    MSI Z77-G45 Mobo
    Cooler Master Hyper 212 plus cooler
    MSI GTX 660Ti OC edition
    1Tb WD Blue hard drive
    700 watt Apevia aqua power
    8Gb G Skill Ram

    Have any good suggestions for a 250-256Gb SSD for under 150 dollars?

    Won't go into all the details, running on this setup for couple years:
    Athlon II X4 2.9GHz
    8GB G-skill Ripjaws X DDR3-1600
    128GB Samsung SSD
    x2 1.5TB Western Digital RAID-1
    EVGA GeForce GTX 460 1GB
    Antec NeoPower 650 Blue 650W Modular


    For the bit of time I had to look maybe this
    but it is 179. For brands I would say: OCZ, Intel, Samsung, Crucial. Keep checking for sales.

    Ok thanks. You should probably upgrade the GPU to a GTX 660 3Gb and upgrade the processor to one of AMD's new bulldozer processors like the FX-4100 or an intel processor if you prefer. Also if the WD drives are 5400 RPM you should update those.

    Windows 8 is amazing, I've had less issues on win 8 than on win 7, things run faster, my cpu is cooler during idle time and it starts up in no time. I don't understand why people hate on win 8.
