That Metro screen interface still hasn't convinced me it's better than what I have now, but I'm trying to like it. As a start screen it isn't bad to have all your information in those Metro tiles. However, I'd rather have the option to work the way I prefer and not be forced into this new system.

I'm in the process of speccing out a new desktop setup (I know... great timing), and I'm wondering what kind of hardware to consider, how many copies of Windows 7 to stockpile, etc etc.

Well, the advice I've read is to get Windows 7 Home version and you can get a free upgrade to Windows 8 Pro [webmasterworld.com].
