There isn't any point in missing a bargain if you see one, win 8.1
works fine and the upgrade to win 10 is free later this year.

If it's worth buying anyway, you can always buy it and then put
Linux on it as well as keeping the Windows OS.
Than you can slowly ignore the Windows.....


buying a Mac you could aviod both windows and linux :-)


But I would still have to pay for the OS. Linux is free, in two ways.


Mac OS is free with teh mac, and for me the last two versions were both free.
I've had free OS with macs since I goit a DVD of snow leopard thrpough the post too. After that I got a free upgrade from SL to Lion then from lion to mountain lion to mavericks then to yoshomite. I can't remmeber buying an OS for my mac mini since I brought it in 2010 and it's fully up-to-date.
