I wanted to skip Win 8 also, but I want a higher end desktop and good, 
midstream nVidia card. With Dell that means Win 8. The one higher end 
desktop (not Alienware) has only ATI cards if it comes with Win 7.  So, I 
got Win 8 and nVidia 660 GTX.  I didn't order earlier this year since Ivy 
Bridge processor came out partly because Dell was only offering ATI cards on 
this machine and two extremely crappy very lowstream nVidia cards. Now they 
have a good nVidia card, and more coming, but only with Win 8.
