My wife bought a cheap Windows laptop last night at Best Buy. Vista is a nightmare. I laugh at the window that pops up constantly that asks for permission before you do almost anything. Makes me think of the Mac/PC guy commercials you see on TV. And when you finally figure out how to shut off the security that enables the warnings, you get constant reminders that it isn’t on.
It also isn’t a very snappy system. Kinda sluggish. It will get better I am sure. But it is not very good on a sub $1000 notebook.
We love our three Macs (eMac, G4 iMac flat panel, G5 iMac) more than ever now. But we needed a laptop for traveling and my wife would not let me spend another $1300+ on a new MacBook. So, I will give the PC one credit where due, they are cheap.
