That's like in all these gaming magizines I order for their news sections, they advertise for computers that are around $1,500 bucks (that's if you buy the standard version; you have to pay extra if you want specific parts and chips to be put in/removed). Yeah, they've got a great format (lots of space, good processor, etc.), but they ALL HAVE VISTA. I'm amazed they don't revert back to Windows XP, but then again, it's all about looks anymore...
Vista is one of those cheap and easy to make operating systems that gets thrown out quite quickly and in an unfinished format to be marketed at expensive, BS prices. It focuses all on eye candy and not on substance. A lot of software, extensions, and such aren't compatible with it, so it's generally not worth the price you pay for it. I got a free version when I purchased my computer (the one I'm on now), but after finding out more about it, I didn't install it. I sold it on E-bay (in February 2008, mind you) and made $150 bucks easily.
