    I am trying to decide in between getting a Dell with Vista, or with XP. Any thoughts?
    I would be in a couple months, so that might make a diffrence.

    m using vista HP in my Dell pc.. 1GB ram.. it works cool.. excellent look and feel.. easy to use except when UAC shows up.. some incompatibility probs.. Dealing with that right now..

    but, hey!! why did microsoft create Service Packs.. i will wait for SP1.. rather than buy XP now and then move to vista after a year.. :)
