A "vista machine" only costs somewhere in the neighborhood of $600 US, including the ability to run Aero.

If you're ever thinking of experimenting with Ubuntu again there are usually three versions on the go. I think the current 6.10 (Feisty Fawn?) is the latest stable version. There may be an unstable beta and there's the first time installers friend 6.06LTS - the ultra stable version. The LTS is for long term support, which is to say they'll support the OS repositories not that you have to buy a support package off them. I never had a problem with 6.06 but 6.10 eventually got kicked off my second machine.
