Talk about hardware, software, and the likes.
Or just argue over Mac vs PC, i don't really care

To start off the discussion, windows 8 is out in a pre-beta. FOR FREE

Obviously, its not going to be stable yet, so defiantly don't run it as a primary OS, but it is something neat if you have space to partition.

Here's proof I probably have the worst machine here (at least for a desktop):

Processor: Intel Pentium 4 (2.8GHz)
RAM: 1.00 GB
Operating System: Windows XP
Usable Hard Drive Space: 111 GB (easily upgrade-able, but I'll just wait until I do a full upgrade)

I bought my computer 7 years ago, but I really can't complain too much about it.

I may be upgrading my computer sometime next week.  It won't be an absolute beastly machine since I won't be using it for much gaming, but it will definitely be an all-around improvement.  I guess I'll post the specs if I go through with it.
