You should both be good for a few years yet...I still regret going over to W7 but that was my only choice at the time when I purchased a new system.

Win 7 seems to be more popular than 8 from what I have heard and seen. The lesser of two evils I guess.

Edit: Anyone have much success with Windows XP Mode? I have a bit of experience with it at work but not anything game related. Also you need
Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise or Ultimate to run it. We have Pro here.

I run Vista, W7 and W8. The W8 computer is set up to look like W7. Can't tell the difference honestly. When I look at XP it seems ancient.

I have some 16bit software I still use that was quite pricey in it's day and still serves me well. I tried running them in Win7 legacy mode but they don't work. I suppose I'll just have to move files by memory stick and cut the PC's off the network.

The only thing I dislike about the old Xp machine is because I don't use it more than once a month and have to let it update for awhile before getting down to business.
