Special Note About Vista:  As of 1/2007, Microsoft began shipping the new Vista operating system.  At this time, we do NOT recommend that you buy a computer with Vista, or that you upgrade to Vista.  Vista is still too "young" and is not yet fully supported by all applications, hardware, and support entities.

Buying a new computer?  Here are links to our general hardware recommendations and software recommendations.
