Windows XP is 2003 software... Microsoft will stop supporting it in 
March 2014, so it doesn't make sense for a manufacturer to keep 
supporting that platform.

Windows 7 is nice. Windows 8 is Windows 7 with an annoying graphic 
shell. Windows 8.1is Windows 8 with some, but not all, of the annoyances 
alleviated.

On the other hand, Windows 8 is a lot faster on the same hardware than 
Windows 7. With an SSD as your main drive, it flies.

If you buy the retail version of Windows 7, you should get both the 32 
bits and 64 bits installation DVD. With an upgrade, that's usually not 
the case.

Think very well, though, before installing a 32-bits Windows OS, because 
it supports only something like 3.6 GB of memory.
