My partner is looking for a new PC. It is impossible to find one

This seems to be factually incorrect:

Not to mention the option of getting a Linux box....
When I was looking for a laptop for my wife, to replace the one that I
bought in 2004, I was unable to get a Win7 box from the company I prefer
to do business with (NCIX.com) I ended up getting a Win8 machine and
putting a skin on it so that it emulates WinXP. It seems to work, and
neither my wife no I are geeky enough to care about what's going on
inside the thing.
