You know, I have been pretty happy with Vista on a new machine i built 6 months ago or so. It never slowed down like XP would tend to after a while.

It is nice and clean after a new install of anything though!

Ahhhhhhh, there's nothing like the removal of an old Windows install and the fresh installation of a good Linux distro to make everything not only work faster, but smoother as well.

Ooh, ooh! I'll be the Mac fanboy!

My iMac is 3 years old and it runs like the day I got it! (but seriously, it actually does).

mine is 6 years old, and its still fan-friggin-tastic!

however, its pretty low on RAM, so got PS installed on the PC, which has vista, and surprisingly, i do like it!
