Scott is right, Vista is a good reason to move to a Mac. However I might
point out that PC makers are beginning to offer XP again. The high end Sony
Vaios actually come with both, including an optional "downgrade" from Vista
to XP, and I suspect that by the end of the year most suppliers will be
offering XP.
So all is not lost. A PC with XP is a useful machine, a PC with Vista is
nothing but a headache.
Of course if you have a desktop machine, you can simply install XP. However
the operating systems for laptops are usually tweaked for the hardware, so
if you have a laptop with Vista, you are screwed - installing XP is a risky
option.

Subject: [ECOLOG-L] moving from a PC to a Mac???
Hello Ecologers,
It's time for me to invest in a new computer. I've long been a fan of
Dell computers and PCs in general, but because of the issues I've seen
with Vista, I've been considering a switch to Mac.
