OP wants for Window a PC. What will he do with a tablet version

?
Hey what's wrong with you !!! bud ??????
You were the one who was suggesting OP to wait for windows 8.
See your own post :
Not worth buying XP now since Microsoft will discontinue support for it soon.
Get Windows 7 HP or Basic(if you can live without aero) or
wait for Windows 8 coming out sometime next year
To Clear your mind:
Windows 8 is not available for desktops. Its based on ARM and and is meant for handheld devices and tablets only. Touch based interface!!! understood.
And this is what I was trying to tell you in my previous post. Don't act like a n00b !!! or are you @ne of those ........................... ????
:
Windows 7 as it has Dx 11 support and games actually run faster in it for some reason than XP in same Hardware
