3. Vista wants a new PC

This is a good thing. Far too many people are sticking with hardware they by all rights should have tossed out the window years ago.

Yep - the large installed base of users who do some internet browsing, email, and maybe a bit of letter writing are REALLY in need of new hardware just to appease a bloated new OS that they are brainwashed into thinking they need it.

I know many people with older hardware who could care less about the "latest and greatest"... OH - but they have Macs and haven't experienced the sometimes nightmare life ow a Windows user....

Shouldn't that be their decision? All most people want with a PC is web browsing, e-mail, and word processing. Who needs the latest hardware for that? One of the great things about both Linux and BSD is that you can use it to make even older machines pretty usable.
