What is killing PC Sales is not really the OS system but what you need a computer for. So you are working with graphics and animations the key computer system to use is a MAC. you are playing games you use a PC (Desktop), As for me I am a Gamer and do web Development i built my own box, I went to Fry's electronics and bought a board, the parts, tower,power supply, memory, processor (well board and processor came as a package deal), than rather then spending over 2K for a computer system i spent a fraction of that building my own box.
AS for the OS system i used Windows 7 (64 Bit) Ultimate
Most people are not going to be doing a lot of things on a computer except possibly checking some emails, chatting on facebook, watching streaming movies or NSWF materials. Only Gamers and Developers need high tuned up machines that can handle a lot of resource requirements and be able to run several screens at the same time doing things.
IF you do not need to upgrade a OS system do not.......there is no point of it and also Windows 8 Is still under what a year old for the OS system so the key rule is to wait at least a couple years after the OS system comes out to make sure all patches, updates and security loops are fixed.
