Hi forumites,
{ Poll: } Just curious, which Operating Systems do you use? ________
I'm using a new laptop (that I've had for about 3 months);
This is the first time that I've ever had Windows 8.1 -64bit .
![Image](http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e73/VirtLands/System_Info/Intel_Core_I5_4200U_zps52147e6c.png)
One of my favorite programs ( Pelles C ) malfunctions in Windows 8.1 (64-bit) (while in debug mode)
Therefore, I'm planning on running Windows 7-32bit within Windows 8.1, as a virtual machine, (using VMware or VirtualBox).
That should solve it, I hope. ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)

By the way, if you do install VirtualBox on Windows 8.x or Win7 , then
please install it with the bridged networking option turned off,
otherwise your computer won't be able to hibernate or sleep, ( it is an apparent software bug ).
See these links to to see why :

My OS is Windows 7 Professional, 64-bit. Have Virtual Machine XP as well.
In terms of hardware, this is one I built myself. It was built to last, and I think it's lasting pretty reasonably, considering I built it in November of 2012 and it still copes pretty well with newer games.
