I had Windows ME before, since you all are no help, and I don't like change. I'm going to go with mint because they bar it off ubuntu.14.01 or something off that.

I have Windows 8.1, nothing wrong with it.

I deal alot with Server 2012, so It came natural to me.

wait for a computer that won't require you to make an uneducated guess about just exactly what it'll be capable of doing for you.

oh, and btw, can you give me a head's up if you encounter a computer that doesn't need to be updated weekly or daily? I'd kinda like to buy one that actually works properly out of the box.

Try Windows 1.0

For those of you on win8, download classic shell

Makes it a much better experience.
