Anything you know about Video Editing Software?

I have a lenovo laptop with windows 8. I'm really starting to get into Videography and video editing, and am currently using Windows Movie Maker. I would like to make an upgrade and use something with more options and can do more things, (for example, reverse, filters, and putting 2 or more shots in the same time) I was looking at Final Cut pro, is that only for apple computers though? Are there any alternatives? I'm only willing to pay $200 or less. I just need advice about these programs!

Sony Vegas or Adobe Premier for Windows. Final Cut Pro X is Macintosh OSX only.

Hope your laptop has a fairly speedy multi-core CPU, at least 8 gig RAM and lots of external hard drive space for video project storage. Using an external monitor is very helpful (I have two 21" Acer LED panels connected to my iMac specifically for video editing).
