I would recommend the PC, as I don't have many problems at all with Vista. If you aren't running a dual-core and have less than 2 gigs of RAM it might not be right for you though.
Vista is definitely much safer virus wise than XP was, and I can guarantee that as a fact. The User Account Control system annoys some people, but it really does allow you to control everything that goes on with your computer.
If you like Macs, than the aesthetics of Vista will appeal to you. Vista isn't anywhere near as bad as most people make it out to be. I am actually starting to like it, because even if some of the new additions bother you, you can change them back to the Windows Classic format.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
