Well I have had my new Gateway laptop for a few weeks now. If you want to know how I feel about Vista, I'll just tell you that within the SAME DAY I installed Windows XP in dual-boot mode. Why you say? Well I was in Vista, downloading 2 programs and install 1 when my system froze up. That's within the first 2 hours of having this thing on, it froze up with a Explorer error. I was doing practically nothing!
So I found that great site referencing how to dual-boot XP w/Vista. Loaded my XP up on the box and have happy ever since. I decided that Vista needed to stay, I really would like to explore its capabilities more, but I gain the functionality of XP. Oh yes, and SPEED! Man, Vista is not very fast. The first thing I noticed when I booted up to XP was how much faster it is. Not good Microsoft, not good.
So my recommendations? Go ahead and buy that Vista box, and go ahead and get a copy of XP and load um' up. Its very easy and straight forward to dual-boot together. You get the best of both worlds.
