Yesterday, my computer of about 5 years croaked.
Took it to a local computer place and they confirmed the motherboard was pfft. So I'm in the market.
They pitched me a computer they can build - real nice, everything is an upgrade, nice warranty and yearly maintenance plans at competitive price.
2 Questions.....
1) If you had to choose between Windows 8 (with an hour training - part of the deal with the store) or Windows 7, which would you choose? Price will be the same regardless. So far, my experiences with Windows 8 has been horrible. Really hated it. Seemed over complicated for what you wanted to do. (I couldn't even find where to edit email settings - even when I Googled it) But talking with some folks, they said once you get used to it, it's fine. Guy at store also said you don't have to worry about viruses anymore with Win 8. (I like that noise - but am skeptical)
2) Does anyone know if Neverwinter Nights works on a Windows 8 machine?
