Just because Win8 is the latest doesn't mean you have to go straight to that. Win7 is stable, looks to have a fair amount of life left in it, and is still widely available online. I upgraded from XP a few months ago and have been happy with the results.Byron: I don't know which version of Office you have, but I've run both 2003 and now 2010 under Win7, and both work fine. You can get cut-down versions of Office 2010 for pretty cheap online.
