Use windows 7. There is nothing in Windows 8 that is going to help you with Armory, and if something goes wrong you'll be wondering if it was a problem with Windows 8.
I like windows 7. Windows 8 looks like they are trying to herd you into the behaviors they want a consumer to have.
This computer is basic (1.8 GHZ) but it doesn't have all the garbage software either. Oops! It has windows 8.

don't be ridiculous, win8 is a big improvement
for example when swapping from intel to amd mobo, after 2 restarts it accepts new system. Win7 failed that test.

ssd handling is improved, memory handling is improved and the goddamn thing boots like a champ (which is a cheaply done hack, but still
)xp did it job, with little requirements, but it wasn't the most stable OS in the world, and when sp3 came out it was a pain
when i went to win7, I rarely got some lockups and was very impressed, although I went there very reluctantly and only after sp1
now on win8 I'm yet to experience one
Maybe I'll get windows 8 just to learn the new system. I just can't deal with getting Norton off my computer again.
