comparison.
However, any potential O/S switcher should really think about compatibility, both software and hardware, especially peripherals.
As I posted earlier that I have various excellent 3rd party programs, including firewalls, antivirus software, among others that are yet to work under Vista.
I also have various old but working peripherals, such an excellent old fax/printer that is not supported by Vista.
The cost of getting a basic consumer computer with Vista is really minimal, i.e. the usual $400 to $700.
The real cost (time mostly) is securing the computer and make it to run applications we want with existing peripherals. I believe many users are not willing to buy all new hardware or applications just to make them work with a slightly better O/S.
What irks me the most is that there really isn't a choice in if someone buys a ready made Windows based computer today; it's Vista baby only from your friendly Best Buy, Circuit City,......
I'm still pondering what to do. Yesterday, I ran a complete system restore on my brand new Acer computer. Then I packed it up nicely and returned it to the store. The Geek Squad person asked me why I returned it. I told him that there was absolutely nothing wrong with the machine just that I couldn't use the new O/S. He smiled and said he understood fully. I then asked him whether he had any XP machines left. He smiled again and shook his head... I thanked him again and walked away from the return counter.
