1350300 2013-07-31 19:53:00 You read my mind! I was planning to install windows 7 for now then when Mavericks comes out (Mavericks hopefully will have native Haswell support),
run a dual boot Hackintosh. :D

1350301 2013-07-31 19:56:00 So now the question is, Windows 7 or Windows 8? Nerdtastic (16693)
1350302 2013-07-31 21:26:00 Win 8, without a doubt. linw (53)

Yeah but it's a bit different there, as the OS is complementing hardware you have purchased from Apple. Not likely to be the case with MS.

1350305 2013-07-31 21:46:00 Any specific reasons over win7? Not too keen on metro though :groan: Nerdtastic (16693)
1350306 2013-07-31 22:02:00 Not too keen on metro though :groan:

Then get Win7
at least you'll still have the start menu button thing & one click shutdown
Win7 is alot easier to navigate around when setting up/making changes

Win8 starts up a bit faster, but still takes time to load up all the added startups: printer software, AV, etc etc etc

Win7 OEM is cheap.
