The superiority of OS X is this quite simple proposition - what Windows Vista sets out to do, and requires at least 2 GB of RAM and massive processor power to accomplish, OS X accomplished 2 years ago and will run nicely on a slower processor with 512 MB to 1 GB of RAM.
Just the facts Mac....

40 GB of hard drive capacity with 15 GB free space.
DVD-ROM Drive3.
Audio output capability.
Internet access capability. ''
For you macaniacs a Vista capable PC is without Aero.
And a Vista premium PC is with Aero.
Sure it won't be screaming but neither would a Mac with less RAM. Lets not forget Rosetta to slow things down. :-)
Vista does NOT require 2GB of ram... 1GB is Fine and 512MB is the Minimum(but NOT recommended)... FUD is your name.
BTW, you can get an extra 1GB of ram by getting a PC anyhow because they are cheeper. ;)
