Hello to all,
Still here keeping Win98 running.
I am still thinking of a new computer, but thinking it is best to wait
until the 1st revision Vista is out.
Have any of you given it a try yet?

This old box has just about breathed its last. I'm expecting delivery by
Wednesday of a new one with VistaHP, a 2.13 GHz Core 2 Duo processor, and 2
gigs of memory.
I'll let you know what I think. I *am* one of those individuals who thought
XP was great...
Best,
Richard

Many are using it now and are going through the motions expected when MS
releases a new OS.
You can save some $$ if you decide to buy a Vista capable PC that is now loaded
with XP:
"Use Vista's 'upgrade' version to clean-install"

The secret is that the setup program in Vista's upgrade version will accept an
installed copy of XP, W2K, or an unactivated copy of Vista itself as evidence
of a previous installation.

UNQUOTE
IOW, XP PCs are being dumped by the retailers and some of them are quite
capable of running Vista. The idea is to buy a Vista capable PC that now has P
and then use the above article to purchase a lower cost version of Vista and
still get the entire package.[1]
I've chosen to upgrade to Kubuntu instead.
