Windows 2000!!!  I have fond memories of that OS when it first came out.  This magical thing called protected memory along with actual working USB plug-n-pray.  And wasn't that shadow under the cursor just so sexy?  Wondering things.

I have 8 on my work laptop and I am loving it.  Been very stable and very quick.  Still working on upgrading to 8.1 but it is tricky cause I am using a KMS key vs. a MAK key.  Will have to do an upgrade install to get it probably.

I got 8 OEM (not pro, don't need the extra remote desktop options and that saved me some cash) cheap from newegg. No problems whatsoever except for metro.

Die, metro. Die.

Installed 8.1 the day it came out and haven't had any problems with that, either. Just recently went looking for a 8.1 iso since the 8.1 "upgrade" has to be done via the windows store, but found that M$ hadn't officially released a download outside of technet/msdn subscriptions up to that time and discovered a way around that. Installed from a "official" 8.1 install disk and smooth sailing after that. Even worked with my legit OEM key.

I got 8.1 as a direct download off of whatever they are calling the school MSDN thing now.  Full legit install and retail key.
