Mason is still only supporting XP, but any OS is fine. The only issue you face is with group work, you'll probably need a current version of MS Office to exchange files for projects. As a student you can get a education version at a reduced cost.

Obama's ratings are down because he is doing a shitty job. Unemployment remains high, he bailed on most campaign promises, his surge in Afghanistan, the spending, the deficit, his home foreclosure assistance plan bombed, and so on. Youth voted for change, they got the status quo. NBC, CBS, ABC, MSNBC, and most print media are in Obama's back pocket, Fox won't bow to Obama, hence the attempt to
