I rarely use a wallpaper -- having this bright lcd I always go with dark backgrounds (or just pitch black--I know, boringcool, you will love the automatic wallpapers. you now can have multiple wallpapers displaying automatically after 5,10,30, ect mins

i love the explorer set up, especially the right-clicking feature. i also like how all the windows open for one set can be nested into one icon instead of convoluting the task bar

i had Vista when i bought my Dell desktop in Aug. they had a program where you can get windows 7 for free if you bought a dell computer recently
I see -- there's a similar thing going on down here, but it's with Ultimate Vista only (I got the Home or Basic edition)i had Vista when i bought my Dell desktop in Aug. they had a program where you can get windows 7 for free if you bought a dell computer recently
In your country maybeare you a student or know any students? students can get Windows 7 for $30
Just remember that the student offer ends sometime in the beginning of January!A,
Yeah, Windows 7 is worth it, and it will streamline your GFX card better as well than Vista, so IMO, I would wait on the card plus the drivers SHOULD only get better, in theory. =)
ComicChick beat me to the punch...I was going to suggest the Student thing. I'm going back this year, and I'm going to pick it up soon as I get .edu address. =P
G'Luck, A,
