I just counted the number of computer devices currently in use in the house... it's nine, counting smartphones. But we are big nerds.

For what it's worth, I went ahead and got Win 8 on this laptop when I replaced it, and it's not so horrible. The whole tablet-wannabe "Metro" interface is beyond stupid, but there is still a desktop mode that operates just like Windows 7. I just have a desktop button on my Metro interface, so it's one more click to go through after I boot up and then everything is back to normal.
