I need to buy a computer like today. Is a PC with windows 8 accessible in yall's experience with NVDA? better than windows 7 or xp?

I like Windows 8. I enjoyed Windows 7, and still think it is a great OS, but if I were buying a new computer I'd get Windows 8.
I use Jaws however, but I can't see why NVDA should not work just as well as it does with Windows 7.

If you've not purchased your computer yet you might think about this.
If you get one with Windows 7, you can upgrade it to Windows 8 Pro for $14, $15 now, and some places will give you the upgrade free. You go ahead and upgrade it and see if you like it and if it works for you. Upgrading is as simple as downloading it, and having a little sighted assistants to get it going after it has installed. You are given a license key, so you type that in when ask for it.
If you simply hate it just return the computer back to factory settings, and your Windows 7 comes back and the machine is exactly like you purchased it.
