My new one just arrived, I just have to put it together.
And no Windows 8 either. Ubuntu and Windows 7.
A touch screen oriented interface for a desktop machine I plan to use for gaming & internet access with a large monitor that I sit back from in a comfortable chair is the last thing I want, and the legacy desktop option or whatever they're calling it sounds like a kludge. I'll wait for Windows 9 or a new Windows 8 SP update, when they hopefully provide a decent user interface alternative as a built-in option, and get rid of those stupid default UI chiclet things designed for touch devices rather than desktops.
