Amazing. I didn't expect it this early. But if they're stocked to launch with Vista machines, they couldn't beat MS's launch date. And MS is doing a sad little PR blitz to pump up sales, even a few tawdry midnight store "events". People that flock to BB and CC at midnight to buy Vista must have pathetic lives.

If you look around, HP or Dell should still be offering XP as a choice. The machines they're selling with Vista installed shouldn't be too bad so it's still worth considering. If nothing else, its license rights last longer. In the first two years of Vista, we'll see very very few games or software that requires Vista.

Sheesh!!! Just got back from Best Buy. I got there right when they opened....so did a trillion others. Nice little crowd waiting for the doors to open. They told me last night that they only had 9 computers of the one I wanted (new launch date for the computer also). Walked in and got it right away.

They have free check to see if everything is running okay. You get three free gadgets for your desk top (like a clock and calendar and I don't know what the other is). There's a choice out of 20 gadgets. Anyways, just be aware that it could take up to an hour for your computer to boot the very first time.

I left the computer there while I did other errands. Mine was the second computer for the free check. When I got back an hour later, the area was filled with computers and was up to a 3 hour wait. ALOT of laptaps sold. People were out to buy.....especially with getting tax refunds back for this purpose.

Good luck to those braving the crowds today.
