It must suck to buy a new computer these days, since most of the good computers come with Windows 8 pre-installed. Although I do see some computers selling with Windows 7.
Easy solution to get Windows 7. You build it yourself, pick up Windows 7, and save several hundred dollars.
By build I mean you open up about a dozen boxes, plug in the components (its so easy now all the plugs will only fit into the correct slot) and go. Watch one of 1,000+ youtube vids if uncertain.

Another solution would be to not play games which require Games for Windows LIVE.
