OT: Building a new computer...

[Santiago]

Vista is the new Windows ME. While it may have some good aspects, there are to many flavors and it's reputation is poor. Plug & Pray. Even for non-tech people, Vista=crap. It doesn't have an overall wow factor that users need to have. It'll go down as a brilliant marketing failure. Pass and wait for the next OS. Microsoft is driving people, universities and corporations to Mac and Linux, which may not be a bad thing at all.
