I recently bought a new computer and had little choice but to buy one that has vista installed. The computer was a Gateway laptop. I got it home and for the next two weeks was embroiled in the fourth circle of Hell, fighting for control with Vista. It won. I brought back the computer and bought an HP laptop instead. The HP is fully capable of handling the payload that Vista dishes out and I’ve had no trouble at all with it.

A warning to you though, the very first thing you should do is cancel the automatic Windows updates. Have it notify you of the update then wait a week or so and do a search on it. I have yet to install ANY updates as *and I wish I were making this up* ALL of them have been corrupt. Needless to say I doubt there are any that I will soon be installing.

I’ve now had the new computer for a few months and without any updating, it still continues to run fine.
