    Why is that? Have you actually used it for more than 5 minutes to make a fair assumption? I've been running it for a couple of weeks now, 0 problems. Works as fast if not faster than XP, sure it uses more memory but I have 2 gigs anyway, so I don't really notice. A lot of people that downtalk Vista, I've noticed, haven't really used it.

    I've played around with it a little. I'm happy with XP, no reason to change right now. And I'm a patient person, an OS is not something I feel I need to have immediately. Once the bugs I've heard about have been ironed out and it's been out for a while, I may get it on my home computer. My work computer is #1, not my decision and #2, has far too much important company information to mess around with. Not that it wouldn't be secure, but if it did have a bug, being down or having problems would make a big mess for us. Seeing as we are a software company, I'm sure we'll get it sooner or later when IT thinks it's ready.

    Hmm. Maybe you don't notice how much it degrades the quality of the video. Windows Vista purposely resizes it to a lower resolution in order to deter people from ripping the video.

    I would either go with an Apple PowerBook or Dell. The new rugged Dell's (Latitude ATG) are the shit.

    Last time i checked you couldn't install a version of Windows on a Mac computer. The processor's infrastructure is a bit different.

    I got a bunch of Dell, IBM, Compaq desktops all under the price range of $350 and they are from P3 900mhz all the way up to P4 2.8's. All different configurations. Can be custom made, parts added whatever you want.

    Of course price will change accordingly.

    Its not the system, its the user. Ive had emachines and they are the only ones that suck. Custom built: BEST, Good computers are: HP, Sony, Dell, Mac. Not recommended: Emachines, Compaqs.
