Do not get Vista.
Get XP.
Do not get a Vista machine and hope to go back to XP, some new Vista loaded PC's have HW NOT supported with any XP drivers.
I would go Mac if I didn't have the many business applications that do not run on Mac.

Lee,
I am curious. As an IT guy what specific hardware have you found in Vista PCs that would not allow a rollback to XP? (Rollback meaning a clean format and install)
I'm rolling back a Dell and cannot imagine any hardware native to a Dell requiring Vista Drivers only. Dell offers the PCS both ways. with Upgrades of the OS only down the line.
MS has directions on their Website to do this very thing even if Vista was installed over XP which I would never do. A clean install would be far easier.
