I have used windows 7 on multiple different MacBooks. My company works with clients that require us to be in a windows environment. I'm also of the opinion that if you're using windows today you should be using windows 7. Windows 8 is, in my personal opinion, a failure as an OS for a desktop environment. I've never had issues installing windows into the boot amp environment. I'm sorry you have not had the same experience.

Is there a reason you don't want an apple laptop? If it's because you dot want to use osx then simply put windows on it. MacBook actually make really good windows machines. And for the price since your not looking for a massive hdd the new MacBook airs are incredible.
