Be very careful to NOT get the cheaper "System Builder Edition" because that's a one-shot install. When it registers, it ties itself to one computer only.Mauserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11732614352398473302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-73439866511716000682013-08-23T22:30:07.175-06:002013-08-23T22:30:07.175-06:00Get yourself a modern PC that has a motherboard ca...Get yourself a modern PC that has a motherboard capable of running Mac OS X with not much in the way of hacking :)Sebastianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14648225987293475835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-39747059000734221162013-08-23T18:28:11.556-06:002013-08-23T18:28:11.556-06:00a computer store here in cincinnati is still offer...a computer store here in cincinnati is still offering their builds in desktops and laptops with Win7. it is Fuller Computers.<br /> I would also imagine someCS students at Boise State could build a good machine.John Cunninghamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07512292512993140028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-70725132829788810152013-08-23T18:21:57.699-06:002013-08-23T18:21:57.699-06:00Windows 8 might make sense if your laptop screen w...Windows 8 might make sense if your laptop screen was tough sensitive.

If you've got a Win8 box, the best thing to do is immediately download and install http://www.classicshell.net/ . 100% free, and gives you a start menu back. As a bonus, the start menu can be styled in XP, Vista, or Win7 look for whatever you want. Not what MS wants for you.<br /><br />I've appreciated a number of under the hood performance enhancements and tweaks in Win8 -- process explorer is elegant *and* useful! -- but mixed in are a bunch of horrible UI designs. Making it difficult to shut down from the UI -- something people have been conditioned to do for 18+ years -- is just plain "we know better than you" arrogance.Nathan Mateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08470811704428376199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-36315957178656546122013-08-23T11:27:11.230-06:002013-08-23T11:27:11.230-06:00If I were going to get a new machine, I'd buil...If I were going to get a new machine, I'd build it with Windows 7.
