So my laptop bites the dust and I decide it's time to just get a box since I wasn't roaming around with the laptop anyway. I'm probably going to pick up a macmini with the money I saved buying the box instead of a laptop.
Of course any new PC you get has vista on it - and I was dreading it after reading all the horror stories.
I've done some programming, done some graphics, made a video, browsed, played music, etc.... -- not a single problem.
I turned off the annoying permissions things and that's about it.
Don't get me wrong - I've got my copy of XP and a UBUNTU partition just waiting to be installed if I change my mind - but it's not that bad. Don't notice a speed issue, or anything else to complain about.
Maybe the secret is just enough CPU/memory
