This whole price issue doesn't make sense to me.
Talking about an average computer user...
I just took a quick look at today's paper, and I can see brand new Lenovo desktop at Fry's: dual core Intel, 4GB of RAM, 500GB HD, Vista Home Premium - $380

What are you on about?

I'm -16.           :P

Too chunky for me.
I'm in my late teens, if that's what your asking.

Get this: people sell laptops with the following specs on ebay for $300!  ::)
80 GB HDD, 1.3 Ghz Celeron, 256 MB RAM, CD reader, 2 USB

Are some people dumb enough to pay $300 for this?
Well, i guess they must be....

Whats the point it's just Vista with new problems.

Not true at all.

It may shake out as the best out of Redmond since Win2k...which would put it in my opinion in pretty good company.

You're so funny.
Windows 7 UI looks 95% like Vista.

So that means you liked most of windows vista's user interface to begin with.... LOL

But I wish Vista taskbar could be transparent like win 7 is... that's all....
