na i was jus gonna use it for school stuff and whatnot, main reason i like em is that the pc and monitor are in the same package. on second thought...my grandma got a 533mhz p3 gateway flatpanel 1024*768 12ms with upgradeable pci graphics on her desk crappin out(case fan goin) so i might set her up on a new pc(she dont got enough hd space, pc too slow) so i might make a pc for her, take all the stuff on the 6gb on there and put it on an 80, load that up for her run xp on it, and see if i can get vista to run on it(lol....right)well neways, back on topic...VISTA!!!... i say wait for about a year or so for prices to drop, and for all the bugs to be worked out, then buy, but i aint controlling that wallet of urs, but same scenario with xp, first came out, expensive as ****, lots of probs, had to wait for sp1 to come before it actually could run a prog with out bsod, then with the advent of sp2, the prices dropped to like, what 150? hmm. i say get vista *think limes* about 4 months after its release in jan(or is it feb now? used to be dec...)and use the money for the system itself
EDIT: about the mac thing again. can a mac run linux? that got some simalarities to windows
