Bought a new LT when my Window7 LT bit the bullet - been using Windows8 because I couldn't find Windows7 when I bought it. Been using it six months - and hate it.
Bought a new Windows 7 OS for it and will buy a new HD if I have to - tried to install Windows7 over Windows8, but couldn't do it right = tech stupid. So, no matter the extra expense - Windows 8 will depart my LT as soon as I can do it.
Won't ever buy another computer with Windows 8 - never, ever! Maybe more tech smart guys like it - but it sucks far as I'm concerned.
And, all the continuous updates uses all your data allowance if you're on Hotspot - unless you shut everything off, and I haven't found everything yet to shut off, so it still uses extra on my data card.
