AVG - thats true if your talking about an existing pc that is solid.

For a new build PC, why go short $60 (The diffference between Vista and 7 Ultimate OEM) to run an OS that will have to be upgraded before the lifecycle of the PC is done?

Also - assuming this is a game machine, and since its his first build - 7 is "cleaner". Yes, Vista has stabilized greatly since its early days, but it still has a lot of "bloat", most of which must be manually removed. An investment like a built PC, I look at the long term vs short term, and balance that against speed and stability.
