Don't use Vista. It has DRM (digital rights management) which is good for Hollywood but not for you. Do you want to do what you want, or be managed? I am using Ubuntu 6.10 which is free, works great, has no virus problems, and I can do whatever I want.

I am actually looking to get Dell's new high-end system soon,
but after reading this : LINK HERE (just one sample, I've read more similar articles)
I'm having 2nd thoughts. Not that I will be switching over to a Mac,
but this could actually mean more new customers for Mac's.

Hmmmmmm .... and NO, I don't ... But,
1st .... who cares (altho there are over 16 pages of responses to this question),
and 2nd .... shouldn't this be an OT thread?
BTW, I'm still trying to figure out how to change the wallpaper on my '82 MAC. Does it have wallpaper?
Cheers ...............
