I use a MacBook Pro as my primary computer, but in terms of an entertainment computer, a Vista PC runs circles around anything Apple has to offer -- especially if you want to pipe content to multiple rooms in your home using XBox 360s as media center extenders. MSFT is two years ahead of Apple in home digital entertainment.

Thanks Thomas, very good heads up, @jason, sounds like Thomas' problem was that video card issue maybe. interesting... obviously i'll do more research on it...

I suffered through Vista for 5 months on my brand new laptop. Memory dumps, blue screens, hard drive scans, wireless connection drops, miscellaneous reboots... it's windows ME all over again. Since I installed XP (which I of course had to pay extra for) it's been running like a champ.

Blue screens are usually an indicator of a hardware/driver problem, not the O/S, most of the time.
