What OS do you use?
it wasn't only that a lot of older games wouldn't work but a lot of the newest games ran extremely more worse on vista as opposed to xp. it still seems that way for some of the games. not to mention that you can't get directX 10 on xp. not that that is such a big deal, almost all games won't come close to touching the directX 10 or 10.1 specs before directX 11 is out. gotta love microsoft.

flyingimam, you won't be forced to switch to vista. microsoft will stop supporting vista when the new windows (windows 7) comes out. the beta is supposed to be out in december. once again, got to love microsoft. microsoft has a system they use to where they only support the current and prior generation os. well i guess that's like being forced to switch, my bad.
i am currently using vista on a laptop. i actually like it better than xp, all except the game issues obviously and a few stability issues. i've been messing around with some of the *nix flavors. i can't decide which way i way to go yet. a lot of the wireless driver stuff is a pain in the butt too!
apparently HP is working on a linux distro for it's new touchsmart line. from what i've been reading could help put a crack where the chink in it's armor. should be interesting. not to mention apple is starting to gain more market share. i'd buy a mac if they weren't so damn overpriced. the OS is great but them controlling the hardware really sucks. i've played with some of the osX86 versions out there and they are still very buggy not to mention the drivers will drive you insane. i think apple will eventually release osX as a stand alone OS. that would rock! but who knows....
