for people who missed the deal on Toshiba P50T-A01C, this is not a bad deal because you have two Windows options to use, touchscreen on 15" screen sometimes does not much
Windows 7 Pro (installed) + Windows 8 Pro CD
6GB RAM

Windows 8 is pretty much A win 7 without the original start menu, once gotten used to it's not too bad, or there's many start menu apps out there to be used.
For the past ~10 months I've used windows 8, i've find its pretty similar to Win 7. Just a bit few upgrades here and there (general improvements). I however did add start menu manually throught Start8 (was only few out then). There is Starters Back which is highly recommended and free i believe, or Classic Start. Got over this hurdle of start menu, its pretty much same.

I prefer this one even now using the P50T, windows 8 is not really user friendly in most case as Windows 7, just my opinion :)
