Read what I wrote and then try to understand finally that Win8 is the official release version and OEMs are obligated to sell it. If they refuse, MS will bump up their licensing costs.
It makes no difference whatsoever if you can buy Win7 or how long it's supported. Consumers buy ready computers and ready computers come with Win8 preinstalled.
foolish boy. he's not used to the american way. we dont stick to the dells, compaq, etc. we also buy custom built computers which come with pre installed win7 or win8, your choice. heck some will also build our own.
