I have xp on my main computer but have windows 2000 on my other one I use for web browsing becaude it is alot faster
You should try and get a Windows XP from a shop who will give you a free upgrade to Vista when it is released. Some do, so maybe try asking.
I use XP and its gonna stay that way for a while, you have to wait on vista. Never use ms products when they first come out. Remember xp, someone hacked it on the second day lol
get the new macbooks...they run windows and osx...and get the ones that are vista capable...to run vista AND osx....gah thatd be uber...no viruses but you can run any program and with the dual core processors...man it's hot
