Should I wait until Windows 8 Is out to buy a new computer?

So many of you have asked – should I wait to buy a computer until Windows 8 Operating System is released and installed on the new computer?

My personal opinion is absolutely not!! Fox news reported today that Microsoft will release a new test version of the "Windows 8 Operating System" sometime in June this year – but remember this is just a test version.. Although Microsoft seems to be quite happy with the “overall” operating system, there are still countless challenges with respect to drivers, so until this is worked out – which may take some time – I wouldn’t hold off buying that new computer…

To me it’s like waiting to buy a car until the next version is released with all the new bells & whistles; we know that cars – just like appliances - change each year, so we buy them when we need them. That is especially true when it comes to the world of technology – if you are going to wait until something comes out that has all the “new stuff” – you’ll never buy anything…

Here is the link to the article Fox News published today re Windows 8: http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2012/04/24/windows-8-release-preview-coming-out-in-june-microsoft-says/
