Going a bit off topic, but Vista has been brought up so I'm only sinning slightly(?). My home computer (3 to 4 years old) is in a coma at the moment. My better half made me throw all my old computers away about 2 months ago, so my stock of spare parts for a "switch-and-see-if-it fixes-it" solution is non-existant. Thus I have to take it in for repairs.

I'm going to set some dollar limit on the repairs, with Plan B being a replacement computer. All the new computers come with Vista, of which I have yet to hear anything of significence that is good.

My question, do I dump the Vista operating system and install Windows 2000 or some other Windows. I'm not willing or able to spend time to learn Linux, besides, I just play games and do e-mail and Web stuff on my home compter. I do own a Windows 2000 Professional CD.
