Neeka, I used to buy low cost XP computers, add memory and keep them a long time. 7 years for the last one, which still ran when I put it out of its misery. Last summer I decided to treat myself to a desktop that was a bit more expensive and much better. Half a year later I still enjoy the browser opening in seconds and same for spread sheets and word processors. Over 4 years the extra money spent comes to a dollar a week.

Live a little :)

I don't do games and few videos.
Win 8 for me works much like XP - only better and faster.
I see the metro interface [tiles] maybe once a week - for a search
