Windows 8 is fine. I've been running it on all of my PCs since the Release Preview. It's not something you should seek out because most of its changes aren't necessary (which is probably its biggest "bug"), but it's not "absolute garbage." I would say if the Toshiba you're looking at has a touch screen, then Windows 8 may be a plus. The new interface is very well-suited to touch, and the old parts of Windows obviously still work great with a keyboard and mouse. When it comes between whether or not you want to get a Mac, there are more decisions you need to make. Virtually any software you've purchased for any Windows machines you've owned will obviously not run on OSX. If playing games on your computer is a factor, you'll probably want to avoid OSX. Their library of games has gotten better, but Windows still has a greater selection of better games. I use a Mac at work and all of my personal computers are PCs with Windows 8, so if you have any questions to compare and contrast the two, I'd be happy to answer them. THIS! I've had Windows 8 since launch and I actually enjoy all of the "newish" features. Once you're in desktop mode it runs pretty much the same as Windows 7. I haven't experienced any bugs or glitches or anything running slower than usual. I have a touch screen monitor, but actually turned it off because I never use it and I'm running on a desktop PC and not a laptop. Macs are nice too, but you'd have to check off everything Mole already said.

It was my idea.
