Eve,
I got a brand new Dell about 6 months ago. It has Vista installed. I decided
to give it a fair go, and I am pleasantly surprised. It has 4GB RAM, which
helps.
I have recently installed OpenSolaris 2008.11 on it (dual boot) and that is
a flat incredible combination. I am running both OSes for a while and then I
plan to go OpenSolaris alone (say 2009.5). However, I do not have any
problems with Vista - it is actually quite nice.
